This morning when our Exchange server came back up after a planned shutdown, it couldn’t mount his database.
The error message I received when trying to mount the database was:
——————————————————–
Microsoft Exchange Error
——————————————————–
Failed to mount database ‘Mailbox Database xxxxxxxxxx’.
Mailbox Database xxxxxxxxxx’
Failed
Error:

Apparently this could happen when there is a mismatch between the value of the ConfigurationDomainController parameter and the value of the PreferredGlobalCatalog (see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977960/EN-US).
After executing the command “Set-ADServerSettings -PreferredServer <FQDN Domain Controller>, the database could be mounted again.
Regarding your problem mounting the databases. How long did you wait until you started the mount command after creating the databases?
It’s only a matter of time, try to drink a cup of tea for 3 to 5 min and mount then again. Because its take time to replicate in AD.
