Hey All,
I've been tearing my hair out over this. I have a single site MEM (2002), single local DB (SQL 2016). During the install I pass all the pre-reqs during the pre-req phase, and begin the install. But, it fails stating:
Failed to execute [SELECT Value1 FROM SC_SiteDefinition_Property WHERE SiteNumber=dbo.fnGetSiteNumber() AND Name=N'SiteExchangeCertificate']

I've given the $sqlservice account full admin, and cleared the SMS keys, and double checked my RSA/MachineKeys Folder permissions. The SQL Service Account also has full sysadmin / dbo owner of the CM_$Sitename I created. I also attempted to not
pre-create the DB, but that still gives the same exact error.
I've been working with MS Premier Support but they have no clue whats going on. Any ideas?
