The Exchange Server setup operation didn't complete. More details can be found in ExchangeSetup.log located in the <SystemDrive>:\ExchangeSetupLogs folder***
Has anyone seen this error?
Anyone help would be appreciated.

Hi @Fernando Godinez ,
Just checking in to see if above information was helpful. If you have any further updates on this issue, please feel free to post back.
Go to the following location in registry editor on your server
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v15\HubTransportRole and delete the 'Watermark' and 'Action' entries. After that try re-run the setup again to see if the issue is able to resolve

I followed the above instructions and set up was able to completed the prerequisites however it failed to set up the Mailbox role
Configuring Microsoft Exchange Server
Organization Preparation COMPLETED

It's a good idea to uninstall the exchange using /m:uninstall and start a fresh install again.
Hi @Fernando Godinez ,
Agree with ManuPhilip, it is suggested for you to remove your Exchange Server using ADSI Edit and start a fresh install to see if your issue could be resolved.
