Hello

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but the list would only allow me to select Exchange Server 2013.

I have a 2 node Exchange 2010 DAG and on one off the mailbox server one of the databases has come up "Failed and Suspended".

So I went about fixing the problem in powershell with "Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity <DatabaseName>\<Servername> -DeleteExistingFiles".  Proplem I have is I am unable to tell if the script is running or not.  The script has been running for over 12 hours but nothing output to screen, no indication if it is doing anything or not.

Is there a way I can see if the script is doing anything or not?

Thanks

There should be a progress bar showing progress. It's possible that it's trying to prompt for confirmation.

In a different Window try to see what the copy status is.

You can check the performance counter MSExchange Replica Seeder -> Database Seeding Progress

Hi, Richard Moth

Have you tried what Jared Van Leeuwen suggested?

Please try to update the only mailbox database copy without -DeleteExisitingFiles parameter to check this problem.

And I also suggest to use EMC to update a mailbox database copy to check the process.
