Hi folks,
Just wanted to share with you my recent experience with installation of Exchange 2013 server. It failed at the point of installing component called Mailbox role:Mailbox services. The most frustrating moment was that it failed at the point of more than 90% of progress.
After consulting the setup log I have discovered the following:
[03/21/2016 12:45:55.0913] [2] [ERROR] Service 'MSExchangeSubmission' failed to reach status 'Running' on this server.

From all I saw ins the log installation program failed to start MSExchangeSubmission service and there were too many failed attempts that it simply gave up and stopped with error as above.
Quite interestingly services for other roles were installed and successfully started. I could tell it by looking into the Service console. As the first step I decided to rerun installation of Exchange 2013 by using the exactly the same command as I did during the first installation step.
In my case it was like the below:
setup.exe /mode:install /roles:Mailbox,ClientAccess /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms /InstallWindowsComponents /TargetDir:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15" /DoNotStartTransports
Installation program discovered Exchange components that were already installed and and kicked off from the point where it failed (as you can see it below):

So in the cases like that I would suggest to rerun Exchange installation program as the first step before you go on for further troubleshooting.
And it proves my theory that Exchange 2013/16 are simply Exchange 2010 roles placed together on one box and even though they are turned now into a single installation block, modular structure is still there beyond the veil. In a sense this situation was similar to the one I wrote about in this blog post.
I hope you find it is helpful for you if you face similar situation.
Enjoy!
