The Cluster service health check failed.%nMailbox server: %1%nError: %2

Explanation

This Warning event occurs when the server cannot become an active member of its database availability group (DAG). A database availability group (DAG) is a set of Mailbox servers that provide automatic database-level recovery from the failure of a database, of a server, or of a network failure. When a Mailbox server that has replicated databases is added to a DAG, it works together with the other servers in the DAG to provide automatic, database-level recovery from database, server, and network failures.

User Action

To resolve this event, do one or more of the following:

  • Review the details in the description of this event for information that can help you understand and resolve the event.

  • Review the Application log and System log on your Exchange 2010 servers for related events. For example, events that occur immediately before and after this event may provide more information about the root cause of this error.

  • Resolve your issue by using self-support options, assisted support options, and other resources. You can access these resources from the Exchange Server Solutions Center. From this page, click Self-Support Options in the navigation pane to use self-help options. Self-help options include searching the Microsoft Knowledge Base, posting a question at the Exchange Server forums, and other methods. Alternatively, in the navigation pane, you can click Assisted Support Options to contact a Microsoft support professional. Because your organization may have a specific procedure for directly contacting Microsoft Product Support Services, be sure to review your organization's guidelines first.
