How are you doing this recovery?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed, I ran the Setup /m:RecoverServer, The new Server has the same OS than the old (Windows Server 2008 R2) the Exchange is also the SP1 just like the old and all the updates from MS... All the prerequisites are installed, when I ran the command everything seems fine with the languages, prerequisites, etc. but when starts with the Hub Transport Role (is the first role of the 3, Hub, CAS and Mailbox) I'm getting the error... Thanks for your response!

Is there anything in the event log that might suggest why the service won't start?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi, Was Exchange installed in the default directory (%programfiles%\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14) before? If not you need to use the parameter /TargetDir when you recover the server. Exampele: Setup.com /m:RecoverServer /TargetDir:"D:\Exchange Server\" I have seen the exakt error message when that parameter wasn't specified and also others when it comes to recover a HUB Server.Martina Miskovic - http://www.nic2012.com/

Hi ViktorFF, Any updates? Please also check whether the Recovering Exchange server is a member of Exchange Servers Group(domain.com->Microsoft Exchange Security Groups) and Exchange Install Domain Servers group (domain.com->Microsoft Exchange System Objects). Frank Wang

Martina, I set the value to Not Set on CN=Configuration,DC=xxx,DC=com. Now I'm going to manually replicate the modifications and I'll post the results! Thanks again!!
