Installation of Client Access role fails on Windows 2012
Posted on 2012-12-22
I know Exchange 2010 (prior to SP3) is not fully supported on Win2012, but I read that it might just work.
I am getting the following error contstantly:
I tried the following which I found many times over:
Still, it keeps giving that error. What to do?

I tried the following which I found many times over:
Fire up MMC, add the Local Computer Certificate store into the console, located the certificate for the computers DNS name when you first went to install Exchange 2010 Beta/RC, (It will be in the personal store if you are getting this error), move it into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities. Now you can install, enjoy :).
Still, it keeps giving that error. What to do?

Its unsupported. Stop trying to get something to work that hasn't been documented, tested or is a supported configuration. Hearing something "might" work isn't really a good reason to do it.
Deploy it on a supported OS and wait until the service pack is released.

Wait.
For Service Pack 3.
Do you really think it's a GOOD idea to run a mail service in a known unsupported configuration? I don't know your organization, but all the organizations I've worked for/with find mail pretty critical these days - doing this doesn't just seem unwise... it seems HORRIBLY unwise.
If you need to install Exchange 2010, then use the downgrade rights from 2012 to install a 2008 R2 server and install Exchange 2010 on that.

I understand your point. I would prefer Exchange 2013 to be honest, but I want it all combined (for many reasons, which dont really matter at the time) on a remote-desktop-server. This setup (RDS+Exchange 2013) is not possible. It won't install.
So its either Exchange 2010 with Win2012, or Win2012 with RDS and Exchange 2013...

What you want and what you can have are not always the same thing.
RDS should be deployed on its own server.
Exchange should be deployed on its own server.
You aren't going to get Exchange 2010 to run on Windows 2012, even if you can make it install. That is because Windows 2012 uses PowerShell 3.0 which will not run Exchange 2010 commandlets with the current release.
You are going to have to rethink what you want to do, because I don't think either of your options are possible.
