I'm having an issue everytime I try to reseed a database from a specific server to another. I'm getting these weird timeout issues and it fails.
I have 4 MB servers in a dag running MB role only. It seems like there is some weird issue with servers 1 and 2.
SO lets say i have a DB4 failed on MBServer2 and I want to reseed. I run the following:
Update-mailboxdatabasecopy -identity DB4\MBServer2 -sourceserver MBServer1 -deleteexistingfiles
It waits about 15 secounds and returns the following:
A source-side operation failed. Error An error occurred while performing the seed operation. Error: A timeout occurred
while communicating with server 'MBServer1'. Error: "A connection could not be completed within 15 seconds.". [Datab
ase: DB4, Server: MBServer2.domin.com]
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy], SeedInProgressException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : F56BC6CE,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.UpdateDatabaseCopy
Now if I run the same exact command to try and reseed from MBServer4, it immediatly starts to reseed the database. Problem is when it gets done it will fail.
