Hi There,

Please check that DNS is working between the two server and there is no Firewall enabled or between them.

Cheers,

Hi,

Based on the error message, the issue is related to the Remote Registry service.

Please check Remote Registry if there is any firewall software running on the server. If tere is, please disable it temporarily to check result.

Please change the startup type to Automatically and then start this service to check result.

Best regards,

Hi

All DNs records on place for Exchange server, DAG, SMTP etc.

Thanks to you all.

Problem is resolved based on Article. It works perfectly with windows server 2012 too. 

After correcting Remote Registry Services, I am able to create database copy.

Let me fix it myself

Set the service and any dependent services to run under the NT AUTHORITY\LocalService account.

For example, for the Windows Firewall service, follow the steps:

1. Click Start, type "Services.msc in the Search programs and files box, and then press ENTER,
2. Locate and double click the Windows Firewall service.
3. Click the Log On tab,
4. In the This account text box, type NT AUTHORITY\LocalService,
5. Set both Password fields blank,
6. Click Apply and then OK,
7. Repeat these steps for the Base Filtering Engine service.
8. Restart both services.
