Should the Dr side also have a witness server?
Thanks

I have two sites, Primary Site and DRC Site.
EXC01 and EXC02 in Primary Site.
DRCEXC01 and DRCEXC02 in DRC Site.
I have one DAG with all member server exchange.
I set DatabaseCopyAutoActivationPolicy ‘IntrasiteOnly’ in server DRC.

I can manually switchover from Primary Site to DRC Site. But status of Database Copy in Server DRC ‘DisconnectedAndResynchronizing’ and also index state is failed.

What should I do?

Thanks.

I have two sites, A-Site and B-Site
A-MBS01,A-MBS02 in A-Site
B-MBS01,B-MBS02 in B-Site
All Server Memberof same DAG
I set DatabaseCopyAutoActivetionPolicy IntrasiteOnly
When All Server well, I can manually switchover DB01 from A-site to B-Site
but if A-MBS01 shutdown together with A-MBS02,will prompt the index to fail. I can’t Manually switchover DB01 to B-Site
what should I do?

Thank for you help

If you run this on an Exchange 2016 server:
Set-MailboxServer -Identity XX –DatabaseCopyAutoActivationPolicy Blocked

Then run:
Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Status | FL Name,ServersInMaintenance

It displays that the server is in Maintenance Mode?
Setting the DatabaseCopyAutoActivation Policy back to Unrestricted displays that nothing is in maintenance mode.

Running the same CMDlets on an Exchange 2010 server shows nothing is in Maintenance Mode.

Odd?

Neither is better or worse, they are for different scenarios.

Suspending a lagged database copy from activation is applicable to lagged copy scenarios if you want to prevent your lagged copies from auto-activating.

Setting activation policies on a mailbox server is used to control whether or not any database copy on that server can activate.

I have a question, whether to use this method or the method described in your other article: https://www.practical365.com/exchange-server/exchange-server-2013-lagged-database-copies-action/ Using the command: Suspend-MailboxDatabaseCopy -ActivationOnly
Which is better?

Thanks!
