I am attempting to install a new 2019 On-Premise Exchange Server, but the transport service will not start.
This is installed on new VM with Server 2022 Datacenter, all updates. I went through all the prerequisites, and set it to use the same GPO used by the current Exchange 2016 server. I then ran the HealthCheck Powershell script and resolved all known issues.
After installation, the Transport Service would not start. I followed every recommended fix I could find, finally ended up uninstalling the server.
I then downloaded the newest CU ISO and attempted to reinstall it again, same thing, transport service fails upon startup.
Every time I try to start it, I get these 4 errors in the event log:
Event 12001, MSExchangeTransport
