Fresh install of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2 Blank screen after install

Attempting to log in to the OWA I get a white screen immediately after entering credentials

When I open the Exchange Management Shell I get the error

+ New-PSSession -ConnectionURI "$connectionUri" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Excha ...

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [New-PSSession], PSRemotin
gTransportException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : AccessDenied,PSSessionOpenFailed

Along with the above error it also says Access is denied

Im running the Exchange shell as admin

There were no errors during the install and I did everything according to the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant

At first when I attempted to log in it would say my credentials were incorrect

This is part of a active directory set up and I fulfilled all of the active directory piece.

Hi,

According your post, I understand that open EMS with error AccessDenied,PSSessionOpenFailed after fresh install Exchange 2013.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Please follow below steps for troubleshooting:
1. Reboot the server, usually fixes this error.
2. Make sure your authentication settings on your virtual directory for PowerShell is correct.
Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, <Servername>, Sites, Default Web Site, PowerShell and in the right panel, scroll down to the Authentication module, then make sure that Anonymous access is disabled and Windows Authentication is enabled.
3. Double check the configuration of HTTP binding on Default Web Site in Internet Information Services (IIS).
4. Run Get-User Identity | FL *power* to check whether the current logged in user has remote powershell enabled.

If the issue persists, please try to remove the PowerShell virtual directory and renew for testing.
Additional, I find an similar thread about your question, for your reference:
