    Today I have already created one DAG. However, during managing database availability group membership, i met with one problem described as below,

    The Microsoft Exchange Replication service does not appear to be running on "mailserver". Make sure that the server is operating, and that the services can ce queried remotely.

    i have already checked with my server mailserver, i am sure that "Exchange Replication Service" is running on the server. even i restart the server, the problem is still the same.

    what is wrong with this case? could some one help me?

    Check that Windows Firewall, if enabled, has an exception for the Microsoft Exchange Replication service.

    And now that I recall - I think you also need to add an exception for Windows Powershell.

    Hey Jacky, did you get this figured out?
    If not, then from another server in the DAG run this:
    sc.exe \\mailserver query msexchangerepl

    It should look something like this:

    sc.exe \\exch-b-302 query msexchangerepl

    SERVICE_NAME: msexchangerepl
            TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
            STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                    (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
            WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
            SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
            CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
            WAIT_HINT          : 0x0


    That will query the server remotely, so if that doesn't work (e.g. it times out), then you might have firewall problems. Some other possible causes are permissions and name resolution problems.
