Exchange 2013 CU7 Installation crash on Mailbox role: Transport Service!!

Hi

I need some help, very urgent.
I started cu7 Installation, and in the middle the Installation failed:

Error:

The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();

            # Apply XML Transforms to FIPS configuration file if schema changed

            Write-ExchangeSetupLog -Info "Applying XML Transforms to FIPS configuration";

            $FipsBinPath = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($RoleInstallPath, "FIP-FS\bin");

            [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile([System.IO.Path]::Combine($FipsBinPath, "FSCConfigurationServerInterfaces.dll"));

            [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile([System.IO.Path]::Combine($FipsBinPath, "FSCConfigSupport.dll"));

            $configServer = New-Object Microsoft.FSC.Configuration.ConfigManagerClass;

            if(! $configServer)

            {

              Write-ExchangeSetupLog -Error "Configuration Server object could not be created.";

            }

            else

            {

              try

              {

                $configServer.Upgrade();

                Write-ExchangeSetupLog -Info "Configuration.xml was upgraded successfully";

              }

              catch

              {

                Write-ExchangeSetupLog -Error "Upgrade of Configuration.xml was unsuccessfull, $_";

              }

              # Stop the process if it is still running

              # We silently continue because if process has already exited, Stop-Process will throw error

              # Error is non-terminating and so can be suppressed

              Stop-Process -processname FSCConfigurationServer -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue;

            }

          " was run: "System.Exception: Upgrade of Configuration.xml was unsuccessfull, Exception calling "Upgrade" with "0" argument(s): "Root element is missing."

   at Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.Task.WriteError(Exception exception, ErrorCategory category, Object target, Boolean reThrow, String helpUrl)

Hello

first check ExchangeSetup.Log because sometimes is helpful.

Try to start Transport service manually and run the setup again.

Hi,

If it is unable to start Transport service, please try the following method to solve this issue.

  1. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\FIP-FS\Data
  2. Deleted the file "Configuration.xml" and renamed "Configuration.xml.back" to Configuration.xml.
  3. Then try to re-install Exchange Mailbox Server.

Note: remember to back up the file "Configuration.xml" and "Configuration.xml.back"

Best Regards.

Hi Lynn-Li

You where very close. I had to do this with the file "configurationServer.xml", which is in the same directory.This file had a size of 0Kb. After that, everything worked again.

Thanks to all of you for your answers.

Regards
Peter
