Question : Exchange 2007 SCR - log truncation problem

I have an issue in an Exchange 2007 environment. SCR is setup between 2 servers, but due to an outage, the overall SCR service is no longer working. At this point, I want to turn off SCR because the primary exchange server won't flush the transaction logs. I have been doing some research on SCR and it looks like there may be two ways to turn off SCR although I am not positive. They seem to be:

1) Use ADSI edit to turn it off (I don't love this idea)
2) Use Disable-StorageGroupCopy

So, are these the same end result or do they do different things?

Once I get this turned off, I want to do a full backup of the primary exchange server to get rid of the transaction logs. Then I will probably setup SCR again.

Thanks!

Answer : Exchange 2007 SCR - log truncation problem

One more thing that you can actuall do in this senario is suspend the SCR using the following command:

Suspend-StorageGroupCopy -identity "name of the SG" -standbymachine "Name of the target machine"

the run the command get-StorageGroupCopy -identity "name of the SG" -standbymachine "Name of the target machine" and verfiy that the SCR has been suspended.

then clear out the log files on the active node. then reseed the database in the target node using the

Update-StorageGroupCopy -identity "name of the SG" -standbymachine "Name of the target machine" -deleteexsistingfiles

Note: The Update-StorageGroupCopy has to be executed fron the target machine. And the "-deleteexsistingfiles" will delete the old database files and log files from the target machine and replace them with the new log files and database.
