Description

The Resume-MailboxDatabaseCopy cmdlet resumes replication and replay from a suspended state. If a database copy was suspended without administrator intervention, it's because the database copy is in a bad state. You can use the Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus cmdlet to see if there are any messages indicating a failure. If the copy of the database is in a bad state, resuming the copy causes replication to fail and the mailbox database copy to return to a suspended state.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Resume-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity DB1\MBX3

This example resumes replication and replay activity for the copy of the database DB1 hosted on the Mailbox server MBX3.

Example 2

Resume-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity DB2\MBX4 -ReplicationOnly

This example resumes replication and replay activity for the copy of the database DB2 hosted on the Mailbox server MBX4. After the copy is resumed, it remains administratively blocked for activation.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

• Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
• Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
