Message Text

The Microsoft Exchange Replication service is unable to remove log file %2 for %1 because the file is in use or because of insufficient permissions. The database copy status will be set to Failed. Error: %3

Explanation

This Error event indicates one of two possible events:

  • As part of replication inspection, the Microsoft® Exchange Replication (MSExchangeRepl) service cannot remove a log file that failed inspection from the inspector directory.

  • As part of replication startup, the replication service cannot clean out old unrelated log files that were in the process of being copied and inspected during a previous replication session. This error occurs if either of the following conditions is true:

    • There is an I/O exception.

    • There are incorrect file permissions when the replication service tries to delete the log file.

Replication for the given storage group goes into a failed state when this error occurs. After the error is resolved, replication resumes.

Note

During the replication process, a log file that is copied to the passive node is inspected for corruption before it is played against the database copy. The inspection occurs in its own directory, which is known as the inspector directory. This directory is located under the directory that is configured for the storage group copy on the passive node.

User Action

To resolve the error, do one or more of the following:

  • Verify that the physical storage is configured correctly. For more information, see How to View Storage Group Configuration in a CCR Environment.

  • Verify that the inspector directory for the storage group can be accessed. Also verify that a file can be created and deleted in that directory. Check and correct the permissions on the directory.

  • Correct any detected storage hardware problems or failures.

For More Information

If you are not already doing so, consider running the Exchange tools, which have been created to help you analyze and troubleshoot your Exchange environment. These tools can help make sure that your configuration aligns with Microsoft best practices. They can also help you identify and resolve performance issues and improve mail flow. To run these tools, go to the Toolbox node of the Exchange Management Console. To learn more about these tools, see Managing Tools in the Toolbox.
