Hello, For some reason the System Mailboxes are missing from my Exchange 2010 SP3 system, running on Windows Server 2012.
This was discovered while running a "new-MailboxRepairRequest" to detect problems on the mailbox database thought to be causing mailbox export errors and mailbox database backup errors. The new-MailboxRepairRequest failed indicating the DiscoverySearchMailbox was missing. Further research indicated it was present, but the 2 System Mailboxes were missing. The "fix" was to run SETUP.COM /PrepareAD which would recreate the missing mailboxes. I tried this on 2 different Exchange Servers with this same error:
C:\Exchange2010SP3>c:\Exchange2010SP3\setup.com /PrepareAD
