Hi,
My edge server installation failed with the following message:
Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
new-receiveconnector `
-Name ("Default internal receive connector " + [String][System.Environment]::MachineName ) `
-Bindings 0.0.0.0:25 `

I have manually created a "Default internal receive connector OFFICE02" internet connector, but still the setup fails and notifies me that an incomplete installation is detected.
What I think that happened is that both the edge and hub transport role are installed on the same server due to an interface bug in the setup. I want to be able to uninstall this Exchange server to start over again. I rather avoid to remove the Exchange server with ADSIEdit.
The error seems to require another default connector apart from "Default internal receive connector OFFICE02". Could someone maybe list the full settings of all the receive connectors on an default edge server 2013? I think when I manually configure them, the setup may complete and allow me to uninstall. Hopefully.
Any advice?
