This server must be a member of the same DAG and must not already host a copy of the database. ActivationPreference : This parameter specifies the activation preference number, which is used as part of Active Manager's best copy selection process. It's also used to redistribute active mailbox databases throughout the DAG when using the RedistributeActiveDatabases. The value for the activation preference is a number equal to or greater than one, where one is at the top of the preference order.
The position number cannot be larger than the number of mailbox database copies. ReplayLagTime : This parameter specifies the amount of time that the Microsoft Exchange Replication service should wait before replaying log files that are copied to the database copy.
The format for this parameter is Days. The default setting for this value is 0 seconds. The maximum allowable setting for this value is 14 days. The minimum allowable setting is 0 seconds. Setting the value for replay lag time to 0 turns off log replay delay.
TruncationLagTime : This parameter specifies the amount of time that the Microsoft Exchange Replication service should wait before truncating log files that have replayed into a copy of the database. The time period begins after the log has been successfully replayed into the copy of the database. Setting the value for truncation lag time to 0 turns off log truncation delay. SeedingPostponed : This parameter specifies that the task shouldn't automatically seed the database copy on the specified Mailbox server.
This option is typically used when you intend to seed a new mailbox database copy by using an existing passive copy of the database for example, adding a second copy of a specific database to a remote location.
You can even build GUIs in PS if you do need something interactive with pull-down menus and pushbuttons. Thanks in advance. Nice work on the actual tutorial, well written and informative, keep it up. Besides — Microsoft has given a HUGE opening for someone to come behind see Quest tools to write a GUI front end management tool that would far exceed what Microsoft would have written in the first place.
I would politely and respectfully disagree. As a direct and immediately pertinent example, the output generated by the scripts above can produce so much chaff that in turn must be sifted through to arrive at a meaningful report, it makes the process cumbersome and tedious.
In contrast, gleaning information from previous versions was as simple as taking a glance. I think for most admins, the opinion is that going back to CLI is definitely NOT an advantage for any product — it is a major step backwards, sorry.
I will say however, that the work presented here is of great benefit for those of us who must endeavor to put up with these unfortunate changes. I also have to disagree on Powershell being an advance. It is lousy! Syntax is not consistent. Generating simple information requires piping so many different commands together it is ridiculous. Nice try by Microsoft, but they need to scrap it and start again. Take a hint old scripting languages to get it right.
And while they are at it, why not keep the GUI full-functional and also provide solid scripting capability? Yes, this is a huge back step, and just explains that much more how ineffective and inefficient Exchange has become. Seriously, displaying mailbox size is pretty basic. If features in Exchange are important to your business, but you also want less management overhead, then Office is something you should take a serious look at.
Other than that, I can only recommend looking at PowerShell as a tool to make your entire IT administration life more efficient across all Microsoft products — Windows, Windows Server, Exchange, SQL, Lync, Active Directory, Azure, etc etc and embrace it for the benefits it can provide to you, rather than reject it because of the initial learning curve.
But you have to prioritize which learning curves to take on, and it really stinks when you have to tackle a new learning curve just to get functionality you had before. Collecting that info adds load to servers. Anything that adds load decreases performance. So just as you need to prioritize things, so do software vendors. This is useful but minor functionality that is still available to us, just not in a way that is detrimental to server performance.
We can always write ourselves scripts to save time typing out long-ish commands. Like this one:. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
A mounted database is a database that's in use an active mailbox database that's mounted for use by clients or a passive mailbox database that's mounted in recovery for log replication and replay. While you can create more databases than the described limits, you can only mount the maximum number of databases that are allowed by the edition of Exchange.
Note that the recovery database doesn't count towards these limits. The server editions are defined by a product key. When you enter a valid product key, the supported edition for the server is established. For more information, see Enter your Exchange Server product key. You can use a valid product key to move from the Trial Edition evaluation version of Exchange to either Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition.
No loss of functionality occurs after the Trial Edition expires, so you can maintain lab, demo, training, and other non-production environments beyond days without having to reinstall the Trial Edition of Exchange or entering a product key.
