Smith Sent: 04 December 2012 03:12 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Problem getting Dag group to do initial seed Well, I just hunted for it and can't find it. Long story short: Remove all copies from the passive node. Cleanup all files on the passive node. Add copies using shell with -seedingPostponed. Enable circular logging on each database. Update the database copy to seed it. Disable circular logging if you choose. I'll have a blog post on this soon. Tim Perhaps I just missed it, and you found it!

We used to get this occasionally - even when it was a brand new database, the initial seeding of a passive copy would fail saying there were log files missing. I opened a PSS call for it, but they determined that AD replication wasn't working properly, so I gave up that route.

I have 7 db's ranging in size from 8gb to 41gb, and I have managed to get two of them (a 12gb and a 34gb) to do the initial replication, but the rest seem to just keep failing with an error similar to this: The required log file 43887 for NJ-Users-U-Z\XXXMailServer is missing on the active copy. If you removed the log file, please replace it. If the log file is lost, the database copy will need to be reseeded using Update-MailboxDatabaseCop There is approx. 70ms of latency, and a 10mb circuit between locations, and it seems to do the copy over just fine, but then they always error with something similar to the above. Any ideas on how to get this working? I've checked and the backups are not running during the transfer time as well.
