Detailed Description
With this cmdlet, you can configure the replay lag time, truncation lag time, and activation preference value for a mailbox database copy.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Database availability groups" entry in the High Availability and Site Resilience Permissions topic.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
ClearHostServer |
Required |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use. |
|
Identity |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.DatabaseCopyIdParameter |
The Identity parameter specifies the name of the database whose copy is being modified. |
|
ActivationPreference |
Optional |
System.UInt32 |
The ActivationPreference parameter value is used as part of Active Manager's best copy selection process and to redistribute active mailbox databases throughout the database availability group (DAG) when using the RedistributeActiveDatabases.ps1 script. The value for the ActivationPreference parameter is a number equal to or greater than 1, where 1 is at the top of the preference order. The position number can't be larger than the number of database copies of the mailbox database. |
|
Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch. |
|
DatabaseCopyAutoActivationPolicy |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.DatabaseCopyAutoActivationPolicyType |
This parameter is reserved for internal Microsoft use. |
|
DomainController |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. |
|
ReplayLagTime |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.EnhancedTimeSpan |
The ReplayLagTime parameter specifies the amount of time that the Microsoft Exchange Replication service should wait before replaying log files that have been copied to the passive database copy. Setting this parameter to a value greater than 0 creates a lagged database copy. To specify a value, enter it as a time span: dd.hh:mm:ss where d = days, h = hours, m = minutes, and s = seconds. The maximum allowable setting for this value is 14 days. The minimum allowable setting is 0 seconds, and setting this value to 0 seconds eliminates any delay in log replay activity. For example, to specify a 14-day replay lag period, enter 14.00:00:00. The default value is 00.00:00:00, which specifies that there's no replay lag. |
|
TruncationLagTime |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.EnhancedTimeSpan |
The TruncationLagTime parameter specifies the amount of time that the Microsoft Exchange Replication service should wait before truncating log files that have replayed into the passive copy of the database. The time period begins after the log has been successfully replayed into the copy of the database. To specify a value, enter it as a time span: dd.hh:mm:ss where d = days, h = hours, m = minutes, and s = seconds. The maximum allowable setting for this value is 14 days. The minimum allowable setting is 0 seconds, and setting this value to 0 seconds eliminates any delay in log truncation activity. For example, to specify a 14-day truncation lag period, enter 14.00:00:00. The default value is 00.00:00:00, which specifies that there's no truncation lag. |
|
WhatIf |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch. |
