I'm trying to add a database to a RSG and on some servers it shows no database at all. I run an Exchange 2003 organization with 9 servers all 2K3 SP2. Anyone ever encountered such behavior?

Well actually the problem occurs when I try to add a DB to the Recovery Storage Group. Once the Recovery Storage Group is created, the next step is to right click it and select the Add Database to Recover... Then I get a list of all my databases so I can pick one and add it to the RSG. But on some servers it simply says No items match the current search. As a workaround, I just go on another server in the same administrative group and I add the database from there. Then I go back to the original server and start the recovery process. I just don't understand why it doesn't return any DB. It might be something with the builtin query of the wizard or maybe for some reason, the wizard isn't asking to the right domain controller.

I have seen similar issues before. It is probably an AD replication latency issue. /Simon "Jeff Duguay" wrote in message news:99493864-8851-4B46-9A44-6563CD481886@microsoft.com... > Well actually the problem occurs when I try to add a DB to the Recovery > Storage Group.
