CCR Copy Status   
I have an Exchange 2007 CCR configuration with 4 Storage Groups.  The passive 
server was rebooted and when it came back online, only 1 storage group shows 
a Health Copy Status.  The other 3 groups remain in a "Initializing" state.  
I ran get-storagegroupcopystatus and noticed that only the Storage Group that 
shows healthy has a LastInspectedLogTime.  I also ran a 
Test-ReplicationHealth and all results passed.  This is a test environment, 
so while there are 1900 mailboxes, there is no mail in them.  Is there 
anything I can look at to see why the other three remain in the initializing 
state?

Re: CCR Copy Status   
- Are you on RTM or SP1?
- Have you tried suspend-storagegroupcopy and resume-storagegroupcopy?

Are the Storage Group resources online?
Check within cluadmin.exe

Sp1 He used the Test-ReplicationHealth command  :)

Re: CCR Copy Status   
Yes.  All Resources are online.   That day they eventually went to a healthy 
state.  I did another test this morning by suspending the copy, restarting 
the passive node, and then resuming.  The Public Folder Storage Group and one 
of the other Storage Groups went to health right away, while the other two 
say "initializing".  Looking at the event log, each storage group went into a 
resumed state at 11:15.  The Public Storage Group and the First Staff Storage 
Group immediately went into a copy state at 11:15 as well.  (see below event).

The replication instance for storage group exchangeccr\Staff Group 1 has 
started copying transaction log files. The first log file successfully copied 
was generation 7990.

It is now 1:45 and the other two storage groups are still initializing and I 
have not seen any copy events.  I am not seeing any errors in the event log, 
all resources show online.   Is there something else I can look at?  

Thanks in Advance!

RE: CCR Copy Status   
Darin,

did you ever figure out what to do to avoid/fix this problem?  We're having 
the same issue with our CCR Exchange 2007 servers.
Thanks.

Charlie P.

P.S., sorry about the blank post!

Re: CCR Copy Status   
Initializing typically means the Replication service has just been started, 
but no log files have been generated yet.  Do you know if your storage 
groups have generated any log files?

Re: CCR Copy Status   
I got same issue after upgrade CCR to SP1.
As Scott say,
to fix this issue just dismount & remount the DB
or send email over 1mb size to the initializing DB mailbox
or use ntbackup backup DB.
The storage copy status will come to healthy.

RE: CCR Copy Status   
I too get the same 'Initializing' issue with a CCR cluster running SP1 with 
rollup patch 1.

As Jammy-MVP writes, the mount/dismount or ntbackup (or the scheduled 
overnight maintenance) seems to sort it. I didn't know about the >1MB email 
trick though. That's worth knowing. it'd be nice to see it resolved by MS - 
most of the other actions to fix it aren't terribly practical in a production 
environment and it seems to be a pretty fundamental issue because having the 
CCR copy available is pretty important. The rest of SP1 has made a great 
difference (to CCR in particular) and I've got to say I'm a fan of it.
