Ohhhh - the role Exchange2016 isnt implemented :) Using Exchange2013 it is working.

[raandree]

The issue with the rooting is not connected to the Exchange 2016 issue. Are you saying that going back from Exchange 2016 to 2013 also fixed the routing issue?

[andlo]

no routing issue i think still exists, but I were consentrating on one thing at a time.
Atm Exchange 2013 is working.
I did some changes and got Exchange 2016 installing, but only if using windows server 2012R2. The Exchange installer isnt the latest Exchange2016 (CU3) which can run 2016. Did some more coding so I could use exchangeiso for installation, but did not get there yet. But looks promising.

Still cant get NAV 2016 to start installation, but run a script did work, så postactivities IS running correct.
