The SMTP Exit module does not work on Windows Server Core

Assume the following scenario:

A certificate authority is installed on Windows Server Core.
The SMTP file supplied with the certification authority is used. Exit module configured.
However, the Certification Authority does not send e-mails.
In the event log, the Event no. 46 logged with the following error message:

The "Windows default" Exit Module "Initialize" method returned an error. Class not registered The returned status code is 0x80040154 (-2147221164). The Certification Authority was unable to initialize email messaging objects.

End of product support by the manufacturer (Microsoft)

Each Windows Server operating system has a defined end date after which there is no longer any product support from the manufacturer. Certification authorities are also bound to this date, and should therefore be migrated before this date expires.
