error when installing Exchange 2013 server

I am attempting to install a new Exchange 2013 server in our environment, (we already have 3 Exchange 2013 servers).
The server is an exchange 2012 r2 and all prerequisites were installed. I selected mail and CAS roles to be installed. I get the following error:

The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
          if ( ($server -eq $null) -and ($RoleIsDatacenter -ne $true) )
          {
            Update-RmsSharedIdentity -ServerName $RoleNetBIOSName
          }
        " was run: "Microsoft.Exchange.Data.DataValidationException: Database is mandatory on UserMailbox.
   at Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.ADDataSession.Save(ADObject instanceToSave, IEnumerable`1 properties, Boolean bypassValidation)
   at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Deployment.UpdateRmsSharedIdentity.Link()
   at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Deployment.UpdateRmsSharedIdentity.InternalProcessRecord()
   at Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.Task.<ProcessRecord>b__b()
   at Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.Task.InvokeRetryableFunc(String funcName, Action func, Boolean terminatePipelineIfFailed)".

Any assistance you can provide will be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

If this is a fresh install, I would start by removing Exchange 2013>delete the c:\programfiles\exchange folder and perform a clean install of Exchange 2013 again. Ensure that you have the correct permissions (Organization Management) before you start the install.

Also check to ensure that you have in fact got all of the pre-reqs installed.

While the one expert did begin the discussion on the arbitration mailboxes, the solution I posted was more complete with the solution.
