Exchange 2010

When i tryied to reinstall Exchange Server 2010 to a new, clean Virtual PC i had this error :

Mailbox Role
Failed

Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); if ( ($server -eq $null) -and ($RoleIsDatacenter -ne $true) ) { Update-RmsSharedIdentity -ServerName $RoleNetBIOSName }" was run: "ExternalEmailAddress is mandatory on MailUser. Property Name: ExternalEmailAddress".

ExternalEmailAddress is mandatory on MailUser. Property Name: ExternalEmailAddress

reinstall, do you install as the same name?
do you use setup /m:recover

I have clean the previous installation because of a "crash".
Now i am tried to install in a new virtual pc and i get this error.

With the same error crash the previous installation when i'm tried to install service pack 1.

I cannot find anything about this error.
can you please check @ the Application logs for:
Log Name:      Application
Source:        MSExchange Configuration Cmdlet - Remote Management

Need to re-run
a) setup /p command
and
b) setup /r:m to install mailbox role
I re-run the command setup /p and when i run the setup i get the same error.

unfortunately somewhere else is the problem

 
IMO, RmsSharedIdentity is around the "FederatedEmail"

Check @ AD users and computers,for  the federatedmail account
Is that created?
Looking good?
have you use adsiedit to completely remove the exchange before reinstalling again?
Yes there is the federatedmail account but is disabled (is this normal?)

And yes i have remove from the adsiedit all the exchange records
yes that is OK (normal)
what is the email address for that account? is that saying correct?

FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042@pierre-fabre.gr

After @i is correct e-mail address yes.

I will take a look to the above article

Thanks
In my lab for the command:
get-mailbox -arbitration -identiy fed* | fl *email* ...is resulting as

EmailAddresses: {SMTP:FederatedEmail.xxxx@domain.com}
EmailAddressPolicyEnabled:True
WindowsEmailAddress:FederatedEmail.xxxx@domain.com

Is this the same over there?

Thinking about what "ExternalEmailAddress" attribute is missing\erroring?
