Explanation
This Error event indicates that the Microsoft Exchange Replication (MSExchangeRepl) service produced an unrecoverable error, and that replication changed to a failed state when the service inspected the logs and database files.
This error may occur when the replication service finds inconsistencies between the disk volume that contains the active database copy and the disk volume that contains the passive database copy.
User Action
No user action is required.
In Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, the incremental resync feature automatically corrects a divergence between database copies. When the program detects a divergence between an active database and a copy of that database, the incremental resync feature performs the following tasks:
Searches historically in the log file stream to locate the point of divergence
Locates the changed database pages on the diverged copy
Reads the changed pages from the active copy, and then copies the required log files from the active copy
Applies the database page changes to the diverged copy
Runs recovery on the diverged copy, and replays the required log files into the database copy
