Installing Exchange 2007 SP1 on Windows Server 2008 problem
Body:
Recently I stumbled upon problem while instaling Exchange 2007 SP1 on Windows Server 2008, that resulted in delayed start of Microsoft Exchange Transport Service. After several minutes of retrying to start this service, setup failed and Error 2114 was logged in application log
Process MSEXCHANGEADTOPOLOGYSERVICE.EXE (PID=1712). Topology discovery failed, error 0x80040a02 (DSC_E_NO_SUITABLE_CDC). Look up the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) error code specified in the event description. To do this, use Microsoft Knowledge Base article 218185, "Microsoft LDAP Error Codes." Use the information in that article to learn more about the cause and resolution to this error. Use the Ping or PathPing command-line tools to test network connectivity to local domain controllers.
After browsing for solution I have figured it out. Problem was with disabled IPv6 on the network adapter. This seems to prevent the correct topology resolution. By simply enabling IPv6 on the adapter all services were able to start.
After that all you need to do is re-run the Exchange Setup again in Maintainance mode and add missing fetures.
