I did /preparead with exchange 2016 but you need to mail-enable them after to see them and that does not work because I dont have a working exchange 2016 powershell. Exchange 2010 powershell cant enable them because it says read only and object is made in 1.1 and this is exchange 1.0

Here are the setup logs :

I see now what you mean. I wonder if you can go into ADSI Edit and modify msExchVersion to be 44220983382016 (which translates to 0.10 (14.0.100.0) in Exchange PowerShell).

If you do that, you might then be able to work from Exchange 2010 Powershell to mail-enable.

I had to recently do the opposite, where I changed a 2010-versioned user to be 2016's version number (did it via Attribute Editor tab in ADUC). This allowed me to do Enable-RemoteMailbox -Archive from an Exchange 2016 PowerShell which was failing prior to the change due to the Exchange version of the recipient being 2010. I only state this recent experience because it was a successful trick that Exchange was fooled by. So I'm hopeful you might get lucky too.

  Hi Jeremy , thank you for the reply that worked.
  Setup was almost done but than this popped up :
  
  I tried this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/architecture/mailbox-servers/recreate-arbitration-mailboxes?view=exchserver-2019
  Get-Mailbox "SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c}" -Arbitration | Set-Mailbox -Arbitration -UMGrammar $true -OABGen $true -GMGen $true -ClientExtensions $true -MessageTracking $true -PstProvider $true -MaxSendSize 1GB -Force3
  
  $OABMBX = Get-Mailbox "SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c}" -Arbitration; Set-ADUser $OABMBX.SamAccountName -Add @{"msExchCapabilityIdentifiers"="40","42","43","44","47","51","52","46"}
  
  But i cant do this 2 commands i get this error instead on the powershell :
  This task does not support recipients of this type. The specified recipient office.local/Users/SystemMailbox{bb558c35-9
  7f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c} is of type UserMailbox. Please make sure that this recipient matches the required recipient

    DutchAdmin12 I'm still in guessing mode on this one but I'm hoping you can update msExchRecpientTypeDetails via AD to be 8388608 (Arbitration mailbox) and msExchRecipientDisplayType to 10.
    
    Here's my Exchange 2019's same arbitration mailbox's mxExch* properties:
    
    [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-ADUser 80ac15b9-b6ae-4ca2-94e0-8d4db0d86023 -Properties * |fl Name, msExch* Name : SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c} msExchAddressBookFlags : 1 msExchApprovalApplicationLink : {CN=ModeratedRecipients,CN=Approval Applications,CN=<removed>,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<removed>, CN=AutoGroup,CN=Approval Applications,CN=<removed>,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<removed>} msExchArchiveQuota : 104857600 msExchArchiveWarnQuota : 94371840 msExchBypassAudit : False msExchCalendarLoggingQuota : 6291456 msExchCapabilityIdentifiers : {46, 52, 51, 47, 44, 43, 42, 40} msExchDumpsterQuota : 31457280 msExchDumpsterWarningQuota : 20971520 msExchELCMailboxFlags : 130 msExchGroupSecurityFlags : 0 msExchHideFromAddressLists : True msExchHomeServerName : /o=<removed>/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=<removed> msExchMailboxAuditEnable : False msExchMailboxAuditLogAgeLimit : 7776000 msExchMailboxFolderSet : 0 msExchMailboxGuid : {234, 11, 88, 249, 80, 254, 202, 79, 182, 215, 137, 18, 105, 218, 216, 57} msExchMailboxSecurityDescriptor : System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectorySecurity msExchMailboxTemplateLink : CN=ArbitrationMailbox,CN=Retention Policies Container,CN=<removed>,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<removed> msExchMasterAccountSid : S-1-5-10 msExchModerationFlags : 6 msExchOABGeneratingMailboxBL : {<removed>} msExchPoliciesIncluded : {e77cacd8-09b2-4104-bc84-4be9f4420965, {26491cfc-9e50-4857-861b-0cb8df22b5d7}} msExchProvisioningFlags : 0 msExchRecipientDisplayType : 10 msExchRecipientSoftDeletedStatus : 0 msExchRecipientTypeDetails : 8388608 msExchRequireAuthToSendTo : True msExchTextMessagingState : {302120705, 16842751} msExchTransportRecipientSettingsFlags : 0 msExchUMDtmfMap : {emailAddress:797836624526922558235973142298337353741329282, lastNameFirstName:797836624526922558235973142298337353741329282, firstNameLastName:797836624526922558235973142298337353741329282} msExchUMEnabledFlags2 : -1 msExchUserAccountControl : 2 msExchVersion : 88218628259840 msExchWhenMailboxCreated : 6/23/2020 3:08:47 PM
    
    msExchMailboxTemplateLink looks potentially-important, but I wouldn't change it until you test after only changing msExchRecipientTypeDetails to be 8388608 and msExchRecipientDisplayType to 10.
