I have a cluster with both nodes running Server 2008 SP1. One node handles exchange, the other file services. I have Auto Snapshot Manager taking snapshots about 3 times a day, however almost every snapshot for exchange on the passive node gives me this error. I've tried finding what I could on this error, but all I've found is to check that the replications state on my exchange db's is healthy, which they are. The thing is, is that snapshots seem to be working anyway, so I'm not sure what is causing the error. I don't have anything else that would interfere with the snapshot happening as my backups running at night and the last snapshot takes place at 5pm. Any ideas would be helpful, let me know if you need more info. Thanks.
