I am trying to install Exchange 2013 and we already have Exchange 2007 in our production environment.
Running the command get-exchangeserver |fl give the following. It shows IsCleintAccessServer : False, I am pretty sure I did select both the roles at the time of installation.
IsHubTransportServer : True
IsClientAccessServer : False
IsExchange2007OrLater : True
IsEdgeServer : False
IsMailboxServer : True
IsE14OrLater : True
IsE15OrLater : True
IsProvisionedServer : False
IsUnifiedMessagingServer : True
IsFrontendTransportServer : False
I can see all the virtual folders in IIS and while trying to access the ecp page using https://localhost:444/ecp?exchclientver=15, it says "Sorry! Access Denied".
Get-ecpvirtualdirectory gives no output.
If I try to uninstall I get the following error.
Error:
