Hi, I asked this question in the Exchange 2010 forum because the warning occurred on an Exchange 2010 box, but was advised that it appeared to be a ".net issue" so I figured I'd post here as well just in case. Basically after manually activating an Exchange database I got the following warning (the database did activate successfully): -------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Exchange Warning -------------------------------------------------------- Database copy 'Activate Database Copy...' was activated successfully, but with the warnings listed below. Activate Database Copy... Completed Warning: The cmdlet extension agent with the index 0 has thrown an exception in OnComplete(). The exception is: System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters) at Microsoft.Exchange.SoapWebClient.CustomSoapHttpClientProtocol.<>c__DisplayClass4.<Invoke>b__3() at Microsoft.Exchange.SoapWebClient.HttpAuthenticator.NetworkServiceHttpAuthenticator.AuthenticateAndExecute[T](SoapHttpClientProtocol client, AuthenticateAndExecuteHandler`1 handler) at Microsoft.Exchange.SoapWebClient.SoapHttpClientAuthenticator.AuthenticateAndExecute[T](SoapHttpClientProtocol client, AuthenticateAndExecuteHandler`1 handler) at Microsoft.Exchange.SoapWebClient.EWS.ExchangeServiceBinding.FindFolder(FindFolderType FindFolder1) at Microsoft.Exchange.ProvisioningAgent.MailboxLoggerFactory.EwsMailer.GetAdminAuditLogsFolder(ADUser adUser) at Microsoft.Exchange.ProvisioningAgent.MailboxLoggerFactory.EwsMailer..ctor(OrganizationId organizationId, ADUser adUser, ExchangePrincipal principal) at Microsoft.Exchange.ProvisioningAgent.MailboxLoggerFactory.Create(OrganizationId organizationId, ADUser mailbox, ExchangePrincipal principal) at Microsoft.Exchange.ProvisioningAgent.AdminLogAgentClassFactory.ConfigWrapper.get_MailboxLogger() at Microsoft.Exchange.ProvisioningAgent.AdminLogProvisioningHandler.OnComplete(Boolean succeeded, Exception e) at Microsoft.Exchange.Provisioning.ProvisioningLayer.OnComplete(Task task, Boolean succeeded, Exception exception) -------------------------------------------------------- OK -------------------------------------------------------- Does anybody know what this means? Running checks on the databases, replication, etc all come back healthy so nothing appears to be broken, just thought this was a strange warning and wanted to make sure future problems won't arise from whatever is causing this.

You'll probably get a better response if you repost in the Admin forum. This forum is for deployment (i.e., installation) discussions. I've seen that a few times, and one thing that definitely fixed it was to make sure that the DAG IP address is on the public network.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
