Thank you for the great post

Have you installed the March 2017 Windows Updates on an Exchange 2016 server installed on Windows Server 2016? I did today and my Transport service won’t start now. I have two Exchange Edge 2016 servers and they both have the same issue.
Have you experienced this?
Gareth Gudger says
Hey BW,
Haven’t seen any issues reported with these updates. Is this a single server affected or multiple servers? What errors are you seeing in the application logs in Event Viewer? Lots of free disk space on the drive where the transport queue is located?
BW says
I’ve got 16GB of disk space so I don’t think its that.
I have two Exchange 2016 Edge servers load balanced and they BOTH had the same issue (ie: Transport service won’t start).
I see the following Event IDs:
Event ID 314:
Microsoft Exchange couldn’t initialize the Content Filter agent because ExSMime.dll couldn’t be initialized. Verify that ExSMime.dll is properly registered by using Regsrv32.exe. Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC0630005): Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0630005
Event ID 1052:
Failed to create agent factory for the agent ‘Content Filter Agent’ with error ‘Failed to create type ‘Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.ContentFilter.ContentFilterAgentFactory’ from assembly ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\agents\Hygiene\Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.Hygiene.dll’ due to error ‘Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0630005′.’. Please verify the corresponding transport agent assembly and dependencies with correct version are installed.
Event ID 16023:
Microsoft Exchange couldn’t start transport agents. The Microsoft Exchange Transport service will be stopped. Exception details: Failed to create type ‘Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.ContentFilter.ContentFilterAgentFactory’ from assembly ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\agents\Hygiene\Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.Hygiene.dll’ due to error ‘Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0630005’. : Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ExchangeConfigurationException: Failed to create type ‘Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.ContentFilter.ContentFilterAgentFactory’ from assembly ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\agents\Hygiene\Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.Hygiene.dll’ due to error ‘Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0630005’. —> Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ExchangeConfigurationException: Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0630005 —> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0630005
I tried restoring the VMs and reinstalling the Windows Updates but I keep getting the same issue, after the reboot the Transport service can’t/won’t start.
I’m stumped!

A bit late, but I fixed it by reregistering exsmime.dll ;
regsvr32 “c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\ExSMime.dll”
