Hello @azhar Nasim ,

Based on your description, could you kindly clarify that what do you mean

how ever i repaired the two database by deleting and readding mailbox copies when I try to update copy of third database it is giving

And what operations did you perform on the first two databases, is it a different method from the third database?

Besides, could you first run Test-ReplicationHealth command to test the replication running status of the server and restart if necessary? It is recommended that you check server and cluster health using the following commands:

Get-ServerComponentState -Identity Exch1
Test-ServiceHealth <server>

In addition, please make sure that the firewall on Server1 is not blocking the RPC traffic and it is recommended that you turn off the firewall then try again.
