Unable to Install Mailbox Role RRS feed

  • Question

  • I'm doing a new install of 2010 (no previous version of Exchange) on Server 08 R2. When it gets to installing the Mailbox Role it fails. To my knowledge (and according to SQL Server) the database hasn't yet been installed.

     

    Mailbox Role
    Failed

    Error:
    The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); $name = [Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.EnableMailbox]::DiscoveryMailboxUniqueName; $dispname = [Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.EnableMailbox]::DiscoveryMailboxDisplayName; $dismbx = get-mailbox -Filter {name -eq $name} -IgnoreDefaultScope -resultSize 1; if( $dismbx -ne $null) { $srvname = $dismbx.ServerName; if( $dismbx.Database -ne $null -and $RoleFqdnOrName -like "$srvname.*" ) { Write-ExchangeSetupLog -info "Setup DiscoverySearchMailbox Permission."; $mountedMdb = get-mailboxdatabase $dismbx.Database -status | where { $_.Mounted -eq $true }; if( $mountedMdb -eq $null ) { Write-ExchangeSetupLog -info "Mounting database before stamp DiscoverySearchMailbox Permission..."; mount-database $dismbx.Database; } $mountedMdb = get-mailboxdatabase $dismbx.Database -status | where { $_.Mounted -eq $true }; if( $mountedMdb -ne $null ) { $dmRoleGroupName = "Discovery Management"; $dmRoleGroup = Get-RoleGroup -Identity $dmRoleGroupName -DomainController $RoleDomainController -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue; if( $dmRoleGroup -ne $null ) { Add-MailboxPermission $dismbx -User $dmRoleGroup.Identity -AccessRights FullAccess -DomainController $RoleDomainController -WarningAction SilentlyContinue; } } } }" was run: "Couldn't mount the database that you specified.

  • Silly question, but it states MapiExceptionJetErrorOutOfMemory.  How much RAM is in the box?

    Also, have you tried to re-run the installer?   I've seen the role fail to install the first time, but the 2nd it went through.  Often performance or other (AD) issues prevent everything from completing in a timley manner.

  • Yes, Mostly casue of this error is memory. Also please check whether you have installed all pre-requiste in server then try to rerun setup.

    Install the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system prerequisites : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354.aspx

  • Hey Mike,

    Right now the system has 4.5 GB of RAM.

    I've reran the installer a few times. Rebooted. Even closed out of some processes that where eating some RAM. 

    Thanks.

  • All the pre-reqs are installed. The system currently has 4.5 gbs of RAM. I'll try to get my hands on some more.

  • 4.5 should be enough to get you going.  I've seen posts in the internet about synthetic numbers like 4.5 being mishandled by the installer.  I'm not sure if i believe this, but worth a try to reduce it to 4096?

  • Is it a physical or virtual server?

    I agree you should try reduce the RAM to it to 4096, for your reference http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/f6c9b7d1-867f-4326-a3fe-72e3eeacdbd3

  • Its physical. I'll try removing some RAM this evening.

    Thanks.

    How about your question? Any updates?

  • Sorry for the delay folks.

    Install went fine with 4 gigs. (First time I think removing RAM was the Answer (expect with installing 64bit Win 7)).

     

    Thanks for all the help

  • Wow, very strange.  I bet its something funky with the hypervisor.  I'd bet 4.5GB of physical ram would have been ok.
