Hey guys here is my issue. &nbsp;I recently stood up a new SBS 2008 server. &nbsp;I have everthing configured, and my computers connected to the domain. &nbsp;Now I am trying to install exchange. &nbsp;I have done nothing to include sysprep or domainprep (however not sure if 2008 needs it) my server is also behind a firewall that has our public ip I have done the port forwarding already, and set a static IP for my server. &nbsp;MX records are in place. &nbsp;I guess I need step one through the last step I should take to complete this task. &nbsp;Also IPV6 is disabled had to in order to conect computers to domain. &nbsp;Heard this could cause issues with <b>Hub Transport</b>. &nbsp;Thanks in advance
