After that restart the Exchange System Attendant services on the mailbox server.

The Microsoft Exchange System Attendant Service does the following thing:

Forwards directory lookups to a global catalog server for legacy clients, generates e-mail addresses and offline address books, /busy information for legacy clients, and maintains and memberships for the server. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.
