Can't launch EMC Exchange 2010 due to initialization Failed
I am replacing old exchange 2010 server with new hardware. Old hardware is running SP1 with rollup6.
I installed new exchange server and patched to sp2 rollup 8.
When logging into the new server and trying to run EMC, I get the following.
I tried a different profile and get this.
It was suggested that my problem is a duplicate SID. I disagree with this as I am not using a VM environment. This server was installed from scratch, not copied.
It was also suggested that I patch old server to patch level of new server. I can't do that because I only have 4 gigs of free space on old servers system partition and no way of recovering any free space. I don't see how I can patch old server any higher.
When I try and launch EM Shell on new server, I get the following.
Note: I did not have this problem when I went thru the migration in the lab environment.
I still have access to EMC and EMS on original Exchange server.

If you are suggesting to patch the new server higher, than I will.

New exchange server has been patched to SP3 rollup5 and rebooted server.
Error still persists.
I did the script update and it made no difference.

Problem ended up being with IIS. IIS default website was stopped. We did an IIS reset and the problem corrected itself.
