When you try to run Get-Mailbox from a powershell window, you see:

WARNING: The object domain.local/Users/DiscoverySearchMailbox {D919BA05-46A6-415f-80AD-7E09334BB852} has bee

WARNING: The property value you specified, "16", isn't defined in the Enum type "Nullable`1".
WARNING: Database is mandatory on UserMailbox.
Solution
If it's the "DiscoverySearchMailbox" mailbox and you don't need it, you can use the Disable-Mailbox command to disable it since the SP1 installation will re-create it anyway:Disable-Mailbox -identity "DiscoverySearchMailbox {D919BA05-46A6-415f-80AD-7E09334BB852}"
(Change the GUID [D919BA05-46A6-415f-80AD-7E09334BB852] to your own GUID)

| My question is how do you change the GUID and relink it to the DB for discovery to work again. | |
| Comment #3 from Kobi Shmueli [Username: Kobi_S] at 26/11/2010 17:40 | |
|
Dan, you can do something like: New-Mailbox -identity "DiscoverySearchMailBox" -discovery -userprincipalname "discoverysearch@domain.com" |

| I had this - all you have to do is change the alias on the mailbox to something without foreign characters in. Mine had {} in it and once I took those out worked fine. | |
