correction ExCra does fail
And PrepareAd didnt help
any thoughts on this Option?
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:
* "DiscoverySearchMailbox {D919BA05-46A6-415f-80AD-7E09334BB852}"
* “System mailbox”
* Delete them
2- Run Setup.com /prepareAD, then, System mailboxes will be created
3- SP2 installation will be finish succesfully

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.
