Exchange 2007
The other day I was installing an instance of Exchange Server 2007 on a Windows Server 2008 machine. During the install process the Hub Transport role install kept failing. The error I received was that the “MSExchangeTransport Service failed to reach the state of Running”.
After banging my head against the wall for a little while I ran across a posting (I can’t remember where) that noted the service in question will not start unless the IPv6 protocol is enabled on the primary NIC. I had indeed disabled it earlier because I did not intend on using IPv6. Enabling the IPv6 protocol and restarting the install process resolved the issue!
Phew! Thank goodness for that – I too disabled IPv6, and Transport Service / Hub Transport failed.
Saved me hours of head scratching, Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, Richard! That definitely had me at a loss. Got things back up and running when I switched IPv6 back on!
Thanks for your post, may have saved me from hours of agony.
