Hello,
I've been trying to recover a lab Exchange 2013 server using the process at the following address;
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876880%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I have completed all the prerequisit steps, but after running the command - setup /m:ReceiverServer /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms - the setup doesn't complete and tell me to check the logs, which are displayed below.

I have tried googling the the logs messages which arouse suspicion but I have't found anything which I'm confident which will work.
Any advice will be gratefully received.
