LeonPavesic,Thank you for your recommendations. I have tried them all; my environment is DAG 2016 with 4 nodes. There are 20 databases, but only one is experiencing this issue.

Hi simsumm,

thanks for the update.

You can try these additional steps:

  1. Review Replication Logs: Examine the replication logs for any errors or delays related to the specific database. You can use the following command to check the replication status:

 

Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -Identity "YourDatabaseName" | fl

 

Look for any errors or warnings in the logs.

  • Database Repair: If the issue persists, you may consider running a database repair. However, be cautious as this process involves dismounting the database and may result in downtime. Ensure that you have a recent backup before attempting any repair operations.

 

Dismount-Database "YourDatabaseName" Repair-Database "YourDatabaseName" -DetectOnly

 

If issues are detected, you can run the repair without the -DetectOnly switch.
