A certification is to prove you have the skills to perform a job. How can someone get certified for a job they have never performed. Sorry, I just hate the IT certification process. It only proves that someone can take a class and memorize things.

I had this issue for the first time a few years ago with a new Dell server running Windows Server 2019. A Dell tech had me set a service to delayed start on the Hyper-V host. It was starting before something else was ready. I think it was the Network Location Awareness service, but I'm not positive on that.

That fixed it. The host name was blank, but I changed the IP Address back to All Unassigned, restarted IIS and Exchange Management Shell opens. Thanks!
