I was installing Exchange 2013 on Server 2012.  The server is not a DC, but is a member of a domain with a 2008 R2 functional level, and I was logged in as a domain admin.  There has never been an Exchange instance on this domain.  I got past
the prerequisite checks, and the installer showed 15 steps, so I walked away.  When I came back, I saw this:
Step 8 of 15: Mailbox role: Transport service
Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); 
          $maxWait = New-TimeSpan -Minutes 8
          $timeout = Get-Date;
          $timeout = $timeout.Add($maxWait);
          $currTime = Get-Date;
          $successfullySetConfigDC = $false;
          while($currTime -le $timeout)
            $setSharedCDCErrors = @();
            try
              Set-SharedConfigDC -DomainController $RoleDomainController -ErrorVariable setSharedCDCErrors -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue;
              $successfullySetConfigDC = ($setSharedCDCErrors.Count -eq 0);
              if($successfullySetConfigDC)
                break;
              Write-ExchangeSetupLog -Info ("An error ocurred while setting shared config DC. Error: " + $setSharedCDCErrors[0]);
            catch
              Write-ExchangeSetupLog -Info ("An exception ocurred while setting shared config DC. Exception: " + $_.Exception.Message);
            Write-ExchangeSetupLog -Info ("Waiting 30 seconds before attempting again.");
            Start-Sleep -Seconds 30;

            Write-ExchangeSetupLog -Error "Unable to set shared config DC.";
        " was run: "Unable to set shared config DC.".

Hi Deepak,
From the error description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. Please ensure that IPv6 on the network adaptor is turned on.
2. Please check if the account that you used to install Exchange has necessary permissions to perform the installation.
3. Make sure that DNS is configured correctly.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Amy
