Hi Guys
I've been struggling with a number of issues installing the title combination... With either Exchange 2013 SP1 or 2016 after installing Essentials the Exchange EAC gets corrupt and you cant login. the EMS doesn't connect to the Exchange Server. This is without attempting to integrate exchange into Essentials.
It occurs to me that Essentials and Exchange aren't supposed to be on the same server :// Although I haven't seen information to this effect in the masses to sites and forums I have scoured over the last week.
I'm running out of ideas really to configure something for this server so I can replace a SBS 2011 server that's playing up.
The only thought I had was that maybe I could create a physical AD DC Server with Essentials and then create a Virtual Server to run basic Server 2012 R2 joined to the Domain and running Exchange 2013SP1 or 2016.
I believe I can run 1 other Server 2012 R2 VM with my 2012 R2 Standard License. But I don't know if the Server is able to cope with the configuration or how I apportion resources to the VM Server.
DELL T320 Server. 1 Xeon 6 core 2.5Ghz CPU. 24GB RAM and 4, 2TB Discs in a RAID10 configuration on a PERC310 controller, twin 1 GB NICS. DVD Drive.
Any links to good websites/blogs/forum articles on this together with any advice would be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Jerry
