If you reach the limit of 5 databases, you need to buy an Enterprise license and apply the key no need to reinstall. Is this safe to implement on Exchange SP1…? I have one database that is reaching over the GB limit and it is now dismounting nightly. I have to restart the server to get things up and running again the next day. The key is not present in RegEdit so I would have to create it.
It will be fine, set a higher limit or you can create a new database and move some of the mailboxes on the existing database to the new one. Menu Home About. I have set a limit of GB in my example. What is the problem Chix? The public folder can have 2TB too? Thank you! You can create a mailbox database copy at any time. Mailbox database copies can be distributed across Mailbox servers in a flexible and granular way.
You can create a mailbox database copy using the Add mailbox database copy wizard in the Exchange admin center or by using the Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell. Identity : This parameter specifies the name of the database being copied. Database names must be unique within the Exchange organization.
MailboxServer : This parameter specifies the name of the Mailbox server that will host the database copy. 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. I have to now store all my scripts in text files and recall them when I need them then I have to modify the scripts and see what result I get. I get it that not everyone sees it that way. The capability is probably there though the exact steps are beyond me right now to automate the process such that it collects this data on a scheduled basis and makes it available in a graphical report that you can look at when needed.
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.
