Exchange 2016 install error

I have one exchange 2016 server, one 2012 AD server and I'm trying to install a second Exchange 2016 on server 3(2012 member server) so that I can setup DAG, but I can't get past the install on the second exchange 2016 server. I get the following error:


Error:

I haven't gotten that far yet. So far I have 1 Exchange Server and one domain controller. I am trying to install the second exchange server and the install of exchange is failing on the second soon to be exchange server.

I installed all the pre-requsites that the install stops on.I The os is a member server joined to the domain. The Exchange install won't let you install until you install the prereqs are installed.

The error "Database is mandatory on UserMailbox" states that "one of the mailboxe on the server is not having a Database" so to check which mailbox is not having database please use below command

Get-mailbox -Arbitration | Format-Table Name, ServerName, Database -Auto

The command will display orphand mailbox which does not have database, may be 2013 arbitration

Now to disable that mailbox use below command

Get-mailbox -Arbitration -Identity “FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042” | Disable-Mailbox -ArbitrationMailboxAllowed

Refer following article which contains more information & fix for this issue

It looks like the FederatedEmail is still trying to point to the old 2010 server(exchange1) that is no longer avaliable. ex2016s1 is the current exchange 2016 server.
