A quick heads-up on the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) in Exchange 2013, which is broken. The HCW in Exchange 2010 does not have this issue.
The HCW is needed when you want to configure or maintain your Exchange 2013 Hybrid configuration. When checking the prerequisites, the Exchange 2013 HCW may throw the following error message:
Subtask CheckPrereqs execution failed: Check Tenant Prerequisites
Deserialization fails due to one SerializationException:
Microsoft.Exchange.Compliance.Serialization.Formatters.BlockedTypeException:
The type to be (de)serialized is not allowed:
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.DirectoryBackendType
The issue has been documented in KB2988229. An Interim Update is available, as reported here. The IU is available for Service Pack 1 (CU4) and Cumulative Update 5. Unfortunately, the IU is not available publicly but must be requested by contacting support. The fix will be incorporated in Exchange 2013 Cumulative Update 6.
If you must, you can use Exchange fellow Steve Goodman’s instructions documented here to manually configure Hybrid configuration. Be advised that, as Steve also points out, the support status of your Exchange Hybrid deployment depends on being able to run HCW successfully.
