Installing the mailbox server role for Exchange 2010 throws the error: “The database object 'Mailbox Database 1590813985' in Active Directory has been corrupted and is in an inconsistent state. Unable to find any server hosting a copy of this database.”

Problem

You’ve been having problems with installing a mailbox server and after several failed installs, you decide to remove the mailbox server object left by the failed installed from ADSIedit via:

CN=Servers,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=Domain,CN=Microsoft,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com

You proceed to installing the mailbox server role only to run into the following error:

Solution

What’s important in the error message above is the following:

The database object 'Mailbox Database 1590813985' in Active Directory has been corrupted and is in an inconsistent state. Unable to find any server hosting a copy of this database.

What basically happened is that while the server object was deleted, the mailbox database for the server hasn’t.  To rectify this issue, use ADSIedit and navigate to:

CN=Databases,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=Domain,CN=Microsoft,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com

image

… then delete the mailbox database has now been orphaned.

Note: I know that the mailbox database being deleted is empty and have also done my sanity checks to ensure it.

Once this orphaned mailbox database object has been deleted, Exchange Server 2010 should now install properly.
