In my test environment I wanted to add another Mailbox server to my DAG and upon running the install it failed with the following error:

“Upgrade the discovery mailboxes to R5 version, this will fix the RecipientDisplayType property of the discovery mailbox which was wrong in R4”

Exchange 2010: mailbox role install error
Exchange 2010: Mailbox role install error 1

First I ran Setup /PrepareAD again but this didn’t resolve the issue. Running a search in Active Directory I found 2x Discovery Search User accounts, as they were not needed the accounts were deleted and the setup retried, all successful.

Exchange 2010: mailbox role install error
Exchange 2010: Mailbox role install error 2

Hope it helps.
