The Microsoft Exchange Replication Service requires the file path for the passive copy of the database.

Explanation

This Error event indicates that the Microsoft Exchange Replication (MSExchangeRepl) service cannot find the path of the database on the local continuous replication (LCR) storage group copy. The event may occur when an LCR database copy path is accidentally cleared in the Active Directory directory service. The database copy path cannot be deleted through the GUID or by using a cmdlet. The Error event is triggered when Microsoft Exchange Replication service starts and cannot find the path of the LCR database copy.

User Action

To resolve the error, follow these steps:

  1. Disable LCR for the storage group copy. For detailed steps, see How to Disable Local Continuous Replication.

  2. Re-enable LCR for the storage group copy. For detailed steps, see How to Enable Local Continuous Replication for an Existing Storage Group.
