Created and configured a journal database on Exchange 2010. Did not want indexing for this database so it was disabled:
set-mailboxdatabase <database> -indexenabled $false
and restarted MS Exch search service.
But now the get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus always shows the contentindexstate for that DB as "failed" which prevents us from activating the DB on another node.
Is there a way to disable content indexing for a 2010 DB and have the contentindexstate not be in a failed state so you can do proper switchovers?
