How do I get the command Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus * | ft -auto to forward respond to my email

Is there a way to determine how many databases are replicating the same information across too many databases? I don’t want to sound too technical but a lot of small details like replication time can interfere with name changes or old forms that get handled by too many people who don’t have a good view of where to retrieve old records.

Hi Paul,
I have exchange 2013

I don’t want to look at the properties of each account to see if they are using our first, Second or third database. Could you show me the command to list users in a specific database?

In reply to Adam Ovary. This will also work Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -server SERVERNAME | Where {$_.ActivationPreference -eq 1} | select Name,Status,CopyQueueLength,ReplayQueueLength,ContentIndexState | ft

In reply to Paul Cunningham. -Active switch will also give you the Dismounted DB. Which is not good for Backup Software.

Hi Paul,

we have exchange 2013 CU 10 with windows Server 2012. Since yesterday one of our exchange 2013 DAG member shows unavailable network in its DAG network details. Both MAPI and REPL networks are shown unavailable.

In reply to pooja.

It’s a conditional operator that means “not equal”.

So the command should return databases that do not have a status of “Mounted”.

$_.Status -ne ‘Mounted’ can you guide me what does -ne means here in this command

In reply to Javed. No need for that when you can just use the -Active switch.
