Installing an Exch 2007 64bits into anExch2003 Organization. During Exch2007 64bitsTransport Role setupI get an error showing the following message. Service "MSExchangeTransport" failed to start. Check eventlogs for possible reasons for the service start failure. Checking the app eventlog there is an event id5022 with the following description. Local RG object not found, Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Categorizer.RoutingConfigException: Local RG object not found at Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Categorizer.RoutingGroupRelayMap.ValidateConfig(ExchangeTopology topology, RawRoutingConfigData rawConfigData, DateTime timestamp) at Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Categorizer.RoutingTables.ValidateConfig(RawRoutingConfigData rawConfigData) at Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Categorizer.RoutingTables.PopulateTables(RawRoutingConfigData rawConfigData). The Exch2007Administrative Group, Routing Group and Routing Group Connector were created, but the Exch2003 Server wasnt part of the connector members. Anyone with a similar situation?

Hi, How many directory servers are in this environment. It sounds like it could simply be replication latency. If you force AD replication, or if you simply wait for a while and manually try to start the service, does it start?

Hi Scott there are 3 domains, each one has a DC on the lab. Replication is working fine, but when the transport Service is starting during the setup there isthe followinerror at the exchange setup log. WARNING] Object ExchServer2007-ExchServer2003 has been corrupted and it is in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors have been encountered:[[WARNING] TargetTransportServerVsis is mandatory.[ [WARNING] TargetTransportServerVsis is mandatory. Thanks

Hello, Ihave de same problem. I have installed Exchange 2007 in an Exchange 2003 organization in W2003 x64 machine. I get a error when I tried to install hub transport service as a network service. When I change de account to a administrator I can start de service but I get this errors: The Microsoft Exchange Mail Submission service is currently unable to contact any Hub Transport servers in the local Active Directory site. The servers may be too busy to accept new connections at this time. Process edgetransport.exe (PID=6376).

Anyone has a solution for this one?

I have exactly the same problem. Did anyone find a fix for this??

I fixed the problem by deleting a corrupted connector. To find out if you have a corrupted connector run the Get-RoutingGroupConnectorcmdlet. If you see any warning messages (In yellow) then you do. Then delete it using the Remove - Remove-RoutingGroupConnector -Identity "%Name of corrupted connector%" cmdlet Then re-created it using the cmdlet Add - New-RoutingGroupConnector -Name "Interop RGC" -SourceTransportServers "Ex2007Hub1.domain.ad" -TargetTransportServers "Ex2003BH1.domain.ad" -Cost 100 -Bidirectional $true
