As indicated in the error message, the reason for this error is auth certificate has expired. Now, the certificate renewal is bit tricky. As a workaround, try to change the system time of the server to a date that falls in the range where the certificate was still valid. Make sure that Windows Time is not running too. Resume the CU installation. Revert time and time services. Now, renew the certificate

Thanks Manu Philip, there are 3 certificates that have expired along with the Auth certificate.
Would it work to renew in EAC? I am going to take snapshot and try that in the morning, (once backups are successful tonight)

Any good links for this that you can recommend?

Much appreciated :)

EAC can't work in this situation as the setup ran already. Setup can be finished with the workaround I mentioned. For Certificate renewal, there are plenty of references available in internet

I saw another answered thread here: exchange-2013-renew-microsoft-exchange-server-auth.html
I haven't personally tested the link you shared. However, looks like the procedure would work. I see the PowerShell cmdlets are applicable for the certificate renewal
