Hi all,

I have a persistent issue for about a week on my Exchange DAG.

when I create a mailbox or a distribution group in a node (any of each) only one displays the object.

I don't find anything suspect in the logs.

Is anybody has encountered this issue ?

Obviously it looks like a replication issue but I'm not sure.

Thanks by advanced for your answers.

Hi Drumart,

Thank you for your question.

We could use the following command to check if DAG replication work:

(Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup) | ForEach {$_.<mailbox name> | ForEach {Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -Server <mailbox name>}}

Test-ReplicationHealth Identity <server>

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 

Best Regard,

Jim

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

The first command send : 

. : Missing property name after reference operator.
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (.:String) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MissingPropertyName

the second one :

Name                                   Member Servers                                      Operational Servers

DAGEDUSERVICES      {LDP-EXMBX-02, LDP-EXMBX-01}

And the first one without the pipe 'mailbox' send :

Name                                          Status          CopyQueue ReplayQueue LastInspectedLogTime   ContentIndex
                                                              Length    Length                             State

So of I have nothing in the column 'Operational Servers' I guess this is not normal...

Thanks again !

Hi Drumart,

I am sorry that I didnt state clearly.

(Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup) | ForEach {$_.<mailbox server name> | ForEach {Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -Server <mailbox  server name>}}

Notice: the parameter is the name of Exchange mailbox server.

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 

Best Regard,

Jim

Hi Jim,

I'm sorry but the command still not passed.

I got the following message :

Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup | ForEach {$_.ldp-exmbx-01.lcf.local | ForEach {Get-MailboxDataba
seCopyStatus -Server ldp-exmbx-01.lcf.local}}
- : You must provide a value expression on the right-hand side of the '-' operator.
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpectedValueExpression

Any clue ?

I tried to get the result with the second mailbox server as parameter and I obtained this results :

All seems to be ok.

What is very weird is that when I open the EMC on each server (there are two MBX and two Hub/Cas combined) only on the MBX01 I can't find the newly created objet. 

Very strange..

Hi,

Please run the following command to check if there are servers which is missing, then, post results to ibsexc@microsoft.com:

Get-ExchangeServer

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 

Best Regard,

Jim

Hi

The most strange in this issue is that it solved by itself, the group I created (one week ago) just appears now !

Yet I refreshed the display of the EMC many times last days and restarted the server concerned but in vain.

So I think all works fine now.

Thanks anyway for your help.

Cheers,

Bruno

Hi ,

First of all, I will congratulate that it is fine.

In a general, this issue was occurred owing to DAG copy, we often check it by the command which I provide in the solution.

If there are any issue in the future, welcome to our forum and we will give a better solution for you.

Best Regard,

Jim
