Exchange 2010 SP3 mailbox role installation with error exit code 87. Default mailbox database cannot mounted and copy status shown as "Service Down"

• I am in the process of installing Exchange Server 2010 SP3 on a Windows Server 2012 server in order to rehome Exchange 2010 Public folder servers to new hardware. Everything went well with the installation process until I went to add the Mailbox server role, which is giving me the following error (from the log file):

Although the installation ended with error exit code 87, the mailbox role seems installed already since all mailbox role's services are up and running... information store, mailbox replication services, etc. are installed and can be started with no issue. However, the default mailbox database cannot be mounted, copy status shows services down. We will have to fix it.

And the solution was:

• Fix this by removing the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Microsoft-Exchange-Troubleshooters/Operational and sub keys, then reinstall the mailbox rule once more time.  

That's nice, Microsoft, there is no KB about this.

Outlook 2016 - cannot view contents in shared mailbox inbox folders, but visible from OWA

There is a shared mailbox. users connect to the mailbox by adding it as an additional mailbox. It works fine. All suddenly, users reported they are no longer able to view contents of Inbox folders. " we don;t have any thing to display"

Here is the fix:

The way to change this option is the following:
 - menu "File"

 - "Account settings" -> "account settings..."

 - in the "E-mail" tab, select your account and then push the Change... button

 - push the "More settings..." button

 - go to the "Advanced" tab

 - in the "Cached Exchange Mode Settings" section, untick "Download shared folders"

If this options are already check, you need to do the opposite way to enabled both "Cached Exchange Mode Settings  and Download shared folders" options.
