Designing and Deploying Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 — Question 36

You have an Exchange Server 2016 organization. The organization contains five Mailbox servers. The servers are members of a database availability group
(DAG). All of the databases in the DAG are replicated to all of the members.
You plan to perform scheduled maintenance on a Mailbox server named MBX3 that will place the server offline for up to an hour.
You need to ensure that any active databases on MBX3 are activated on other DAG members before performing the maintenance.
Which cmdlet should you use?

Answer options

• A. Set-MailboxDatabaseCopy
• B. Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup
• C. Resume-MailboxDatabaseCopy
• D. Set-MailboxServer

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct cmdlet to use is Set-MailboxServer, as it allows you to configure the mailbox server settings, including the activation of database copies on other servers. The other options do not directly facilitate the process of activating databases on other members before taking MBX3 offline; for example, Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup would halt the entire group, which is not needed in this scenario.
