Fix-ResynchronizingOrInitializing.ps1

#MsExchange #Powershell

Sometimes you get databases in a DAG with an Initializing or Resynchronizing state.  The way I have found to fix this is to Suspend the database copy and then resume it.

If you have quite a few databases its a pain in the butt using the console to do this .. so I wrote this.  You have to run it on the server that has a copy in either Initializing or Resynchronizing state.

If ($xPsCheck -eq $Null) {Write-Host "Loading Exchange Snapin"; Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.e2010}

$gmdcs = Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus
ForEach($item in $gmdcs){
  $tmpstatus = $item.Status
  $tmpName   = $item.Name
  Write-Host $tmpName "["$tmpStatus"]"
  IF (($tmpStatus -eq "Resynchronizing") -OR ($tmpStatus -eq "Initializing")){
    Write-Host "- Suspending"
    suspend-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity $tmpName -Confirm:$False
    Write-Host "- Resuming"
    resume-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity $tmpName
  }
