Exchange 2013 Error: Load Balancing failed to find a valid Mailbox Database

If you are in Exchange Server 2013 and when you create a new Mailbox, you may get an error as Error: Load Balancing failed to find a valid Mailbox Database as shown below



Below are the options that you need to check to resolve the issue.
  • Check whether all the Exchange Server related services are running on the Server. You can use the Shell command Test-ServiceHealth –Server ServerName to check that.
  • Check whether the Mailbox Databases in your Exchange Server 2013 are mounted. If you install the Exchange Server 2013 for the first time, all the Exchange 2013 related services will run, but the mailbox database may be in dismounted state. Mount the database and check the status. You can use the Get-MailboxDatabase –Status | FT Name, Mounted to confirm the database mount status
  • If Exchange related services and the Mailbox Databases are in mounted state, then you may need to consider to manually specify the mounted mailbox database as shown below 
 Let us know if any details needed on this error message.

I had to do the last step, and manually select the mailbox database, which I never had to do before. Very bizarre, but it worked.

All steps above are correct! Thank your posting this!

Doing the last step worked for me, do you know why this is the case?
