2013 Hybrid deployment on 2012 R2/ coexistence with 2007 install failing on later steps.

Hi all,

I took a position at a new company in the middle of a partial migration to a hybrid 2013 / 07 and 365 setup. It was a pretty large mess with multiple 2013 exch servers setup and running as well as 2 07 exch servers the primary and the DR site as well as a functioning 365 deployment. There were enough problems that after a couple of weeks I had to remove all the 13 exch servers and created  fresh server and deployment which went smoothly. That lasted about a day until the ECP web gui started failing to find the web page to login to after the credentials page just as the previous servers had. I spent a few days attempting to fix the server but ended up losing the exch shell. I created a new server today went down the check list after I removed the remnants in AD of the old server and started my install and it failed on step 10 I believe it was with the following error code. As I am a one man shop don't any other brains to pick, any insight or information is greatly appreciated at this point.
