If a data center fails, the databases in the other data center must be activated automatically.
Redundant copies of all email messages must exist in the transport pipeline before and after mdelivery.
Email messages must be made highly available by the Exchange Server organization before and after delivery.
If you manually mount the databases following the data center failure, the databases in the failed site must be
prevented from mounting automatically.

The correct answer is:

1.
Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -identity DAG01 -ActiveDirectorySite “New York” -ConfigurationOnly $TRUE
2.
Set-Service -Name clussvc -ComputerName EX03 -Status Stopped
Set-Service -Name clussvc -ComputerName EX04 -Status Stopped
3.
Restore-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG01 -ActiveDirectorySite “London” -AlternateWitnessServer SRV02 -AlternateWitnessDirectory D:\DAG1

Shouldn’t the order of 1 and 2 be swapped around? According to the Pluralsight videos by Paul Cunningham, it’s done in that order.

The order of 1 and 2 are the wrong way round and you have told it to stop the cluster service on the wrong 2 servers: correct answers in my opinion

Set-Service –name clussvc – computername EX01 –status stopped
Set-service –name clussvc –computername EX02 –Status stopped

Stop-Databaseavailabilitygroup –identity DAG01 –ActiveDirectorysite “New York” –configurationonly $True

Restore-databaseavailabilitygroup –identity DAG01-Activedirectorysite “London” –AlternateWitnessServer SVR02, -AlternateDirectorysite “London”

How do you plan to stop the cluster services on EX01 and EX02 if they are down? The datacenter in NY is kaput. That’s why you have to use the -ConfigurationOnly switch on the 2nd command…

The correct answer and the correct order is:
1) Stop the cluster service on the site that you’re planning to fail-over to. In our case, we stop the cluster service on EX03 and EX04
2) Stop the DAG in the New York site and because the datacenter is down we use the -configurationonly switch
3) Restore the DAG in the London site.

Yep, if we assume that DAG is in DAC mode and AlternateWitnessServer is available, but not previously configured.

The corret order is:

1)Stop-Databaseavailabilitygroup –identity DAG01 –ActiveDirectorysite “New York” –configurationonly $True
2)Set-Service -Name clussvc -ComputerName EX03 -Status Stopped
Set-Service -Name clussvc -ComputerName EX04 -Status Stopped (only mbx yet active)
3)Restore-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG01 -ActiveDirectorySite “London” -AlternateWitnessServer SRV02 -AlternateWitnessDirectory D:\DAG1
