And PrepareAd didnt help

1- Delete system mailbox from Active Directory using ADSI tools
Click Start, click Run, type adsiedit.msc, and then click OK. Locate the
Default Naming Context node, and then locate to the CN=Users container. Locate:

It always scares me when people say that.
If you use exrca.com, what does it say about autodiscover?

Hi all,
I got call saying ECP show an error of DataBase is mandatory on usermailbox,
the only thing they "claimed" to have done was attempt to create a public
folder then the error "appeared"
this is Ex2013 running on 2012
I saw many of the hits were restore related which in this case it is not
I certainly am not going to go the "uninstall exchange " route at its a 200gb
store with ~100 boxes
I tried to get mailbox -arbitration as per this article
http://danblee.com/exchange-2013-error-during-install-database-is-mandatory-on-usermailbox-property-name-database/
and no luck- DB's are mounted, status is healthy, mail is flowing , so i'm
kind of stumped.
