The Microsoft Exchange Replication Service was unable to access the replication state. |
Explanation
This Error event indicates that the Microsoft® Exchange Replication (MSExchangeRepl) service cannot obtain the replication state for the specified storage group copy. The event occurs when the storage group copy status does not contain the correct state, as returned by the Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus cmdlet. This usually indicates that a larger problem exists. For example, the Microsoft Cluster Services (MSCS) could have stopped. If the MSCS stops, a failover to the passive node will occur.
For more information about the Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus cmdlet, see Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus.
User Action
To resolve the error, follow one or more of these steps:
Check the specific error description of the event in the Application log.
Use the Services snap-in to check whether the MSCS is running.
