I'm trying to install Exchange Server 2013 from an ISO download on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. I followed the instructions for the prerequisites. I was hoping to do the AD Prep using the setup wizard. I can't get that far as it just stops at Initializing Setup. No error, just sits there with the progress bar filling up then starting over again. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tina

New information. Every time I run Setup /PrepareSchema it hangs at the same place the GUI installation does. I noticed the application log contains two events 4027 and 2802.

I have tried:
- Disabling the firewall
- Verify the server only has one network interface
- Verify the server is on the same subnet as a writable domain controller
- Enable IPV6 on the domain controller and verify it is enabled on the new server
- Reapplying all the Exchange prerequisites for Windows Server 2012
