Exchange 2010 Hub Transport Role Fails - Registry Keys Missing?

  • 772

I've inherited an attempted Exchange 2010 implementation from a colleague that apparently failed. I've almost managed to bring it back from the dead, but the Hub Transport role fails to install with the following error

  1. I resolved this issue by completely scrapping the VM and building it from scratch. If anyone should experience this issue, this technet thread may be of some help.
