Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus
Applies to: Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3
Use the Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus cmdlet to return the view status information about storage groups in a cluster continuous replication (CCR), local continuous replication (LCR), or standby continuous replication (SCR) environment.
Note
This cmdlet is not applicable to public folder copies.
Note
The basic syntax of the cmdlet provides five fields of output. To get a complete list of all the fields that are available, run the cmdlet piped to either fl (formatted list) or ft (formatted table).
Syntax
Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus [-Identity <StorageGroupIdParameter>] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-DumpsterStatistics <SwitchParameter>] [-StandbyMachine <String>]
Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus -Server <ServerIdParameter> [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-DumpsterStatistics <SwitchParameter>] [-StandbyMachine <String>]
Detailed Description
To see the complete status of a CCR, LCR, or SCR copy by using the Exchange Management Shell, run the Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus cmdlet. Depending upon the options that you provide, the cmdlet either returns information about a specific copy on a specific server or all copies on a server.
The basic cmdlet syntax is shown in the following example code.
Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus
When you use the basic syntax, the following sample output is provided in table format:
| Name | SummaryCopyStatus | CopyQueueLength | ReplayQueueLength | LastInspectedLogTime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
StorageGroup1 |
Healthy |
0 |
0 |

You can use the following example code to return the output in list format.

The time of the last incremental backup. |
System.DateTime |
SnapshotBackup |
Indicates whether the last full backup taken was a legacy streaming backup or a Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) backup snapshot. |
System.Boolean |
DumpsterStatistics |
Transport dumpster statistics from all accessible Hub Transport servers. |
System.String |
DumpsterStatisticsNotAvailable |

Outstanding requests and the time range (low–high) for the outstanding requests. |
System.String |
You can make a quick assessment of the health of a copy by looking at the results in the SummaryCopyStatus, Failed, CopyQueueLength, and ReplayQueueLength, and LastInspectedLogTime fields. These fields show whether the copy is functioning properly and whether the copy is relatively current in both copying and applying logs. If the LastInspectedLogTime is not current, that can indicate that the replication service is stopped or that there is a low rate of traffic on the storage group. If the copy is ever in an unhealthy state, the reason should be determined and corrected. If the copy queue length value is more than 3, the reason should be determined and corrected. If the replay queue length value in a CCR or LCR environment is more than 20, the reason should be determined and corrected.
Note
You can also use the Test-ReplicationHealth cmdlet to verify the heath and status of storage groups enabled for continuous replication. For more information about Test-ReplicationHealth, see Test-ReplicationHealth.
To use the Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server. For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required or optional | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Server |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ServerIdParameter |
The Server parameter returns information about all storage group copies on the specified server. If no value is specified, you get information for all copies on the local server. |
DomainController |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
To specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller, include the DomainController parameter in the command. |
DumpsterStatistics |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The DumpsterStatistics parameter specifies that transport dumpster statistics be returned with the storage group copy status. |
Identity |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.StorageGroupIdParameter |
The Identity parameter takes one of the following values:
If no value is specified, you get information for all copies on the local server. For LCR, this means the storage group must have LCR enabled. For CCR, the information is always returned about the target of the replication. |
StandbyMachine |
Optional |
System.String |
The StandbyMachine parameter specifies the name of the server that is configured as an SCR target. This parameter must be used when obtaining status information for an SCR target. |
Errors
Error |
Description |
|
The error occurs because the specified object does not exist, or the object has not been replicated to the referenced domain controller. |
Example
The first code example is of the Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus command when the storage group name is not ambiguous.
The second code example describes how to get the copy status SG1 on server MBX.
The third code example describes how to get status on all storage groups for the server MBX.
The fourth code example produces copy information for all copies for the local server. On a passive node, it returns information for all copies of the associated active storage group copy.
The fifth example shows how to get status information for an SCR target on Server2 for a storage group named SG1.
The sixth example shows how to get status information for an SCR target on Server2 for a storage group named SG1 that includes transport dumpster statistics, and format the output as a list.
