Symptoms

This is because you don’t have the IIS management binaries installed on the HUB server. These binaries are not needed for the management console to work on the HUB server itself, but they are required for doing remote administration on a CAS server.

Cause


Open the Command prompt on the server and run the following commands to be run on Hub-Transport server

ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Server
ServerManagerCmd -i Web-ISAPI-Ext
ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Metabase
ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console
ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Basic-Auth
ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Digest-Auth
ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Windows-Auth
ServerManagerCmd -i Web-Dyn-Compression

Reboot the Hub Transport server and open the Exchange Management Console. You should now be able to access the Client Access Server without any issues
