System Attendant Mailbox missing
We have an Exchange 2007 server (Version 8.3 Build 83.6) On a Server 2003 x64 Enterprise server.
We have multiple databases but the primary one (or first one made on the server) became corrupted and Microsoft assisted us in moving the users to a new Database and the old one was decommissioned.
However now the system attendant mailbox does not appear in the list of mailboxes (when a get-mailboxstatistics cmd is run through the Exchange PowerShell).
Issues:
The GAL is not publishing to the OAB (can see new entries in OWA but not in Outlook cached mode)
We get errors trying to move mailboxes:
<Result IsWarning="False" ErrorCode="-1056749262">Er
We get errors in the event viewer:

Thank you for your time
1. Usually all you need to do is restart the SA service and it should recreate the SA MB.
2. check out this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285116 as well as http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd535374(EXCHG.80).aspx and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb217922(EXCHG.80).aspx
3. If that doesn't do it, have you already tried rebooting the server? Default action is if missing it will be created, however I have seen situations where a second reboot is needed to get it recreated

Hi Lucid,
The Information Store is running, so I don't believe the first article is relevant. I had referenced the second article The System Attendant homeMDB attribute is missing and the HomeDB attribute of the System Attendant Mailbox does match the distinguished name of an existing storage group.
Looking into the third article now, Thanks.

I have the same problem, running exchange 2013 with latest build. I did NOT delete anything, I just started getting this error message out of the blue today.
Any ideas who to resolve it?
