Exchange 2013 Installation issue and Fixes and Requirements




When Installing Exchange Server 2013, we may encounter the below issue as shown in pic. 




Below is the fix for this issue:

       1. Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012

       2. AD, DNS, IIS and other required features.

       3. PowerShell –
§  Import-Module ServerManager
§  Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS

       4. Then I installed the .net 4.5 framework which can be found here.

       5. Then windows managment framework which is here

  6. Again PowerShell:
