Radweld- I have ran the test-servicehealth. No services are listed under &quot;ServicesNotRunning&quot;. This is a straight install. The only thing added thus far were some users when I ran into this issue.

I am installing a new server with SBS 2011 Standard. I have gone through the SBS Getting Started Tasks but when I go to run the Exchange Best Practice Analyzer in the Exchange Management Console I receive &quot;The server is not operational&quot;. It is an SBS 2011 so Exchange and AD are on one server. I can reach OWA locally [confiuration not complete for external testing]. I can join computers/member servers to the SBS domain. I have added all Service Packs and Microsoft Updates. I continue to receive this &quot;server is not operational&quot;. In the Application Logs I do see an MSInstaller Warning that it Failed to connect to server.

Exchange Best Practice Analyzer - The Server is not Operational

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
