Try resolution from thread here, homemdb attribute is probably null.

Hi AdminIHFA, You have two options to choose from: 1. Add the Database attribute to the mailbox Discover* get-mailbox Discovery* | set-mailbox -Database SOME_DB (where SOME_DB is a name of one of your Databases) 2. Delete the mailbox DiscoverySearch* (you will find in the Users Container) (but you need create a new Discovery mailbox later= I would choose the first one, Martina Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

I found that the HomeDB was null AFTER I created a new Discovery (which had the correct DB info). Re-starting the setup... SUCCESS! Thank you!

Thanks for the update AdminIHFA, Good Luch witht the installation and don´t forget to install RU3 :MartinaPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
