I agree. In a DAG, the answer should be D. If MBX server is standalone, A is correct, as no copy exists to seed the index.

Ummm…. but the question actually says it is the ACTIVE copy that has content index problems….

so are you sure that you can re-seed the Active Copy’s contend index from a passive copy?

Steven

Steven

I would think that if a passive copy’s content index is bad, then you can use Update-MailboxDatabase -CatelogOnly so the Active copy’s index is re-seeded to passive copy, but can you really do it the reverse direction?
