Failed and Suspended-Reseeding Mailbox Database in DAG Exchange 2010

When mailbox database copy failed in exchange 2010 DAG
it is necessary to reseed the mailbox server with failed copy

Open EMC and if your able to see failed database copy

Then first we need suspend the replication for the failed database copy

Use the following command to suspend replication

Step1:-Suspend-mailboxdatabaseCopy –identity “Sal it\seqmbx01”

After executing the above command ask for confirmation click Y for yes

Step2:-After executing the above command failed mailboxdatabase will change to ‘failed and suspended”
as shown in below snap


Step3:-Re seed the database now by executing the below command as below and also shown below snap  


Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity "Sal it\Seqmbx01" -DeleteExistingFiles



Now it will begin the process and depending the database size it will take some time to complete the process after completing this process active mailbox database will be mounted and passive copy will be Healthy
