Force AD Site Replication

29 Dec

From MS Technet

To synchronize replication with all partners
At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

repadmin /syncall /e /d /A /P /q

Value Description
repadmin /syncall
Synchronizes a specified domain controller with all replication partners.

The Domain Name System (DNS) name of the domain controller on which you want to synchronize replication with all partners.
/e – Enterprise; includes partners in all sites.
/d – Identifies servers by their distinguished names in messages.
/A – All; synchronizes all directory partitions that are held on the home server.
/P – Pushes changes outward from the home server.
/q – Runs in quiet mode; suppresses callback messages.

Check for replication errors in the output of the command in the previous step. If there are no errors, replication is successful. For replication to complete, any errors must be corrected.

Remove Mailbox database/role Exchange 2010

27 Dec

When removing a mailbox database prior to uninstalling the mailbox role you may run into an error that says your empty mailbox database actually has content.

The trick to find out what is on the database is the following command:
Get-MailboxStatistics -Database databaseid |fl

You can remove or move the hidden mailbox. In my case it was a test database and I need to remove it with the following command:
Remove-Mailbox -Database databaseid -StoreMailboxIdentity mailboxid

Finally unmount and remove the database. I found that it took several minutes of replication before I was able to remove the mailbox database.

The next step is to remove the mailbox role. I had two issues with this.

The first:
Some Controls aren’t valid
- Please specify an existing server role(s) to uninstall.

The key here is that you do not want to check the box of the role that needs to be uninstalled. You need to UNCHECK the box.

The second:
can not remove Mailbox Role – error code 1638

The resolution I found was to go to Programs and Features and run the Repair option on “Microsoft Full Text Indexing Engine for Exchange”. Then run Uninstall on “Microsoft Exchange Server 2010″ from the control panel.
