Unable to mount database

Question
-
I have a brand new standalone Exchange server 2010 consolidated roles. Also 1 DC. Very simple setup (Lab). After Exchange finished installing, the default database is not mounted. Then I created a new DB and it wouldn't mount. I thought I have to wait for replication... waited for DAYS, still don't mount.
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-MailboxDatabase
Name Server Recovery ReplicationType
---- ------ -------- ---------------
Mailbox Database 0912309164 NEXUSEXCH2010 False None
mbx1 NEXUSEXCH2010 False None
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Mount-Database mbx1
Couldn't mount the database that you specified. Specified database: mbx1; Error code: An Active Manager operation faile
d. Error The Microsoft Exchange Replication service may not be running on server NEXUSEXCH2010.nexus13.local. Specific
RPC error message: Error 0x6d9 (There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper) from cli_MountDatabase3

I've checked all MSExchange services are running. Domain Controller is fine. No idea what else to do? Pls help

Hi,
For your question, it might be caused by the value of the ConfigurationDomainController parameter and the value of the PreferredGlobalCatalog parameter are different. Please run Get-ADServerSettings | FL to ensure.

Hi There,
Did you check that all the Exchange services are running ?

Sounds like a problem with the replication service even though it is running. I had a similar problem on a 4 node dag where one of my servers was having a service issue.
Try running: Test-ReplicationHealth -identity "server name" | fl and see if there are any replication errors. If so try stopping and restarting the replication service.

Did you restart the server after the installation?
Give it a restart anyway and check that ALL Exchange services are running on the box. Make sure that Exchange box can access the Domain controller.

Should I still run this even though its a single server with no DAG?

I've restarted so many times... Exchange and the DC are on the same subnet

I ran the test replication health and got this:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Test-ReplicationHealth | select error | fl
Error : An error occurred while reading the state of the Microsoft Exchange Replication service on server 'NEXUSEXCH201
0'. Verify that the service is running. Error: Service msexchangerepl was not found on computer '.'.Chau
