Below is a common error that comes up when you install Exchange 2007 Server on a Windows 2008 Server. The hub transport role fails with an error “MsExchange transport failed to reach status running on this server”. Mailbox & CAS installations are cancelled as well, if it is a typical exchange 2007 installation.
Reason: By default, IPV6 is enabled on a Windows 2008 server and you have disabled it in the network connections properties, but not fully.
Solution is to enable IPV6 in NIC properties, but disable IPV6 in registry and re-run the setup.
To disable IPV6 fully on the 2008 server. Follow the steps to do so.
Launch registry, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpip6Parameters. In the details pane, click New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value. Type “DisabledComponents” (without quotes) and then press enter. Double-click DisabledComponents and type 0xffffffff in Hexadecimal or 4294967295 in Decimal. Close the registry editor.
Now, navigate to C:WindowsSystem32DriversEtc and open the hosts file in notepad. Delete the IPV6 entry.
Save & close. Re-run the setup.

Have you ever recovered from this type of error?
Hi Thomas,
How many other DCs do you have? Is the DC/GC name hard coded in Exchange?
Run Get-AdServerSettings | fl and paste the output here.
hi dear

Thanks Sohrab
We also encountered the same issue in our case we have modified the host file entry as below 127.0.0.1 point it to Crl.microsoft.com
After modifing the host entry we have ran the setup again it worked!!!
That is another way of doing it.
Thanks Kiran.
the same problem exist
Is it fixed?
Thanks for the tip Dandy.
Thanks to all, what i did was very simple; the ‘Obtain DNS Server addresses was on, so selected obtain DNS Server automatically and then restarted the service and re-ran setup…then all was good.

Rajith you're a lifesaver. Struggled with this problem installing Exchange 2007 on a Windows 2008 R2 server for 2 days and finally found your fix. Worked like a charm. Thank you!
Good to know that it helped you Alex.
Thanks, works for my Exchange 2010 installation!
did above, still not working, then removed all X07 routing groups etc from X03, then checked BPA on X03, with recommendation of SuppressStateChanges registry entry, then restarted X07 new install, did servermanagercmd according to
E2007SP1_W2008prepreqXMLs, then Setup.com /PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions, Setup.com /PrepareSchema, Setup.com /PrepareAD. (Did not do any smtp connector to internet, because it screwed up the X03 environment.)
Not sure, what did the trick, but this did the trick.
As a start, you need to move all 2000 services to your 2007 server. Co-existence will always bring new issues on a daily basis.
I am getting the same error when trying to upgrade to SP2 from SP1, but the exchange 2007 server is running on Windows 2003 R2 SP2. We were in the process of migrating over from Exchange 2000 to 2007 when we were asked to upgrade to fix a user problem. (all our mailboxes have been migrated but he Exchange 2000 server is the bridgehead and still hosts stuff like the recipient policies and GAL

Glad to know that the article helped you.
The same problem is observed in Exchange 2010. The solution provided here works just fine. Thank you!!!!
Thanks for the update Anonymous.
The solution provided here worked for Exchange 2010 as well.
Thanks a lot!!!!
Hi NorDemoniac,
This is because, if you uncheck IPv6 in the NIC properties, it is still enabled for all tunnel interfaces & is not fully disabled. Hence, the registry edit to disable IPv6 completely on all interfaces.
YES!
Thank you so much.
EXC 2010 was bugging me SO much…
Do you have any idea why this happens?
THe same problem exist with EXC 2010. This solution works
Thanks!
