Exchange 2016 – installation fails because Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra installed installed
While installing Exchange 2016 onto a Windows 2016 server the readiness check failed with the following message:
Error:
The Windows component Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra isn’t installed on this computer and needs to be installed before Exchange Setup can begin.
I clicked the link provided for more information but the page has no content yet:
Sorry, but we haven’t added content for this Exchange 2016 readiness check yet. However, we’re gathering feedback that will help us add the most relevant content to this topic. Please take a minute to send us feedback about the information you were hoping to find.
The error suggests that I do not have the Desktop Experience (GUI) installed but that is not the case. After a bit of investigation I was able to complete a successful installation after downloading Exchange 2016 Cumulative Update 6.
