After binary installation of SharePoint do not run configuration wizard to build your farm.
Try instead this simple PowerShell script in order to create a clean Farm with Central Administration deployed an SQL Server database without GUID (replace italic information with your environment).
Run this script within SharePoint Management Shell with administrative permissions.
# Service accounts
$DOMAIN = "yourdomain"
$accounts = @{}
$accounts.Add("Farm", @{"username" = ($DOMAIN + "\yourfarmaccount"); "password" = "yourfarmaccountpassword"})
Foreach ($account in $accounts.keys) {
$accounts.$account.Add(`
"Credential", `
(New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential $accounts.$account.username, `
(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $accounts.$account.password -AsPlainText -Force)))
}
# Farm configuration
$config_Passphrase = "yourpassphrase"
$s_config_Passphrase = (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $config_passphrase -AsPlainText -force)
$server_DB = "SQLSERVERALIAS"
$db_Config = "SP2013_ConfigDb"
$db_CentralAdmin = "SP2013_Content_CentralAdministration"
$ca_port = 2013
$ca_AuthProvider = "NTLM"
