How to shutdown all server exchange in site DC that not effect DAG
Hello we are planning for shutdown all server in DC 01 to maintain electronic . Current environment exchange server have - Active directory : only one site in both DC 01 and DC 0...
In short, you need to remove all the dependencies before shutting down servers.
- Removing HA (DAG), move all mailboxes to server that will be active
- Move all Frontend settings to server that will be active
- Make sure those servers are not meant to send out emails in sender connector
- No DNS records present for those servers, like webmail, mail, autodiscover.

Hello
I just list some document and i think do that these step below
the first time remove member server in F5 load balancing after that
1. Check
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -Server MBXV01
2. Active All Database to site dr
3. Run Get-ClusterGroup and Move-ClusterGroup –cluster DAG –name “Cluster Group” –node MBXServerDR
4. After that you could run to check
Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Status -Identity DAG | fl name,primaryActiveManager
5. Then, run Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG -MailboxServe MBX01 (for all mailbox in DC)
6. Power off each of Exchange server in DC
Thanks
