Exchange 2016 installation fails; Unable to set shared config DC
Hi All,
Im am currently trying to install Exchange server 2016 CU6 on a Server 2012R2 machine. The reason i install CU6 is because i want to test the upgrade from CU6 to CU15. For the deployment i used the official Microsoft article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/plan-and-deploy/plan-and-deploy?view=exchserver-2016
Everything goes wel until step 7. De installation fails with the following error: Unable to set shared config DC.
Any idea can cause this error?

Hi Mas,
There is no current exchange server in the environment i am installing exchange. A few years back there was a exchange server with the same server name. But i've cleaned all old data with adsi edit. Meanwhile, in eventviewer is see more errors:
Process Microsoft.Exchange.Directory.TopologyService.exe (PID=4940). The Exchange computer DC1.contoso.com does not have Audit Security Privilege on the domain controller DC1.Contoso.com
It says the exchange computer "domain controller" lol ?

Did you try to run?
Did you try from a new VM with new OS?
Setup /PrepareAD /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Did you try from a new VM with new OS?
It guides us to add a parameter MinSuitableServer with value 1 in Microsoft.Exchange.Directo
Besides, sometimes a strict GPO may cause this issue. Here are some examples:

If yes please try changing to a different name.
I suggest you to install new OS with new name and run this command first.
Open in new window
You need Exchange media for this command.
