Hello: How can I tell if automatic activation of a passive database copy is disabled? Is there a particular command or property to look for? I understand how to disable and re-enable automatic activation, I just need to see the status. This is for Exchange Server 2010 SP1. Thanks.

Did you check cmdlet "get-mailboxdatabse -id | fl" I did not check this yet but will see !Anil

I tried that before and didn't see anything. I just thought about this some more after trying that and found the answer. Thanks. Here's how to get the suspended activation status of all database copies on a specific server: [PS] C:\>Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -Server EXC-001 | FL DatabaseName, ActivationSuspended DatabaseName : MB-001 ActivationSuspended : True DatabaseName : MB-002 ActivationSuspended : True DatabaseName : MB-003 ActivationSuspended : False

Database Copy Automatic Activation Policy is also an option for blocking the automatic activation Get-MailboxServer MBXName | Fl Name, DatabaseCopyAutoActivationPolicy Resources: Managing Database Availability GroupsPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
