Circular Logging in exchange 2010

1.      
How to enable circular logging in Exchange 2010 while is in DAG in place.
2.      
When enable it will it clear my Transaction Log automatically?
Regards

The Exchange Management Shell can be used to determine which mailbox databases are enabled for circular logging by running the following command.
[PS] C:\>Get-MailboxDatabase | where {$_.CircularLoggingEnabled -eq $true}
Name Server Recovery ReplicationType
Mailbox Database 02 EX1 False Remote
Mailbox Database 04 EX2 False None
Another technique is to list all mailbox database sorted by their circular logging settings.
[PS] C:\>Get-MailboxDatabase | select name, circularloggingenabled | sort circularloggingenabled -desc | ft -AutoSize
Name CircularLoggingEnabled
Mailbox Database 04 True
Mailbox Database 02 True
Mailbox Database 01 False
Mailbox Database 03 False
Here is a method that can be used to disabled circular logging on each of the mailbox databases. Because the change doesn’t take effect until the mailbox database is dismounted and mounted again, this method also performs that task.
Caution: this may cause a disruption to mailbox access for your end users, so I do not recommend running this outside of maintenance windows.
Firstly, read the mailbox databases that have circular logging enabled into an array.
[PS] C:\>$dbs = Get-MailboxDatabase | where {$_.CircularLoggingEnabled -eq $true}
You can see now that the two mailbox databases are in the array.
[PS] C:\>$dbs
Name Server Recovery ReplicationType
Mailbox Database 02 EX1 False Remote
Mailbox Database 04 EX2 False None

  • How to reset logs on Exchange 2010 after Event 518 stops backups from completing?

    I'm only able to find references to resetting logs Exchange 2000 and 2003.  I'm looking for info for Exchange 2010.
    There appears to be some kind of corrupt logs issue with one of our mailbox databases.  The corrupt logs cause the full backup to fail and because the full backup fails, the logs just get worse and keep growing.
    The server has event ID 518 that says a log is  "is missing (error -528) and cannot be used. If this log file is required for recovery, a good copy of the log file will be needed for recovery to complete successfully. "
    How do e get past this and stop the backup job from trying to look for this log file and start over?  I know that a full backup is supposed to clear the logs, but it will not happen because the backup never completes due to this log error.

    its still same for 2010
    Stop all the databases in the storage group.
    Verify the state of each database file in the particular storage group. For information about how to verify the state of each database file, see the "Database states" section.
    Perform one of the following actions:
    If one or more of the databases are in a Dirty Shutdown or Inconsistent state, determine which transaction log files can be removed without affecting database consistency.
    For more information, see the "Log files" section.
    If all the databases are in a Clean Shutdown or Consistent state, you may remove all the transaction log files except for the current transaction log file. Removing the
    current log file when all databases are in a Clean Shutdown state will cause a reset of the log file sequence. This does not prevent databases from starting. However, a reset of the log file sequence affects the ability to roll a
    database forward from a previous backup if the situation occurs.
    Copy all the transaction log files that you want to remove to a different location before you permanently remove them from the transaction log hard disk. Do not permanently delete the transaction log files until you have
    successfully completed a full online backup of all the databases in the storage group.

  • 2010 Disable circular logging with no storage groups

    I have SBS 2008 and the backup wizard will not complete because of the error Disable circular logging in Exchange. I had previously removed most of exchange because of disk space including the databases.
    So there are no storage groups to remove them using the console . Any suggestions would be fantastic Cheers Todd  

    Hi 15topster,
    There are no storage groups in Exchange 2010 onwards, databases are directly under Organization\Servers and logs are generated for individual DBs seperately.
    You should be able to get the option under Database properties or use below shell command to do it.
    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH11310
    To use the Exchange Management Console to disable circular
    logging:
    1.     
    In the console tree,
    navigate to Organization Configuration |
    Mailbox.
    2.     
    In the result pane, on
    the Database Management tab, select the database you want to
    configure.
    3.     
    In the action pane,
    under the database name, click Properties.
    4.     
    Click on the
    Maintenance tab
    5.     
    Clear
    the Enable circular logging check box.
    6.     
    Click
    OK.
    7.   To make your changes
    to the circular logging settings effective, Restart the
    Microsoft Exchange Information Store service, or dismount and then mount all of the databases in the storage group.
    To disable circular logging using Exchange Management Shell, run the
    following command:
    Set-MailboxDatabase -Identity "Database Name" -CircularLoggingEnabled $false

  • Exchange 2010/2013 coexistence: OWA proxy not working properly ":-( Something went wrong"

    Hi
    Exchange 2010 users are NOT able to connect to their mailboxes when they go through exchange 2013 OWA address.  We get a message that says following ---> "Something went wrong"
    Following is our URL.  The address is pointing to 2013 CAS loadbalancer VIP.  Outlook anywhere is working fine.  What is going on?
    Important: All my exchange 2010 / 2013 URIs are the same as suggested by Microsoft (Owa, ecp, activesync, ews, autodiscover): --> mail.domain.com/XXX

    Hello Rawa,
    Can you log on Exchange 2010 OWA using its localhost address?
    Please make sure the intenralurl value is set to Exchange 2010’s local host name and set the Externalurl to Null.

    I hope this shall help you understand some thing. Do remember that i am using mutual (force) TLS with this client
    whose domain is already in my send/receive secure list of TransportConfig.

    FWIW, we had the same exact issue and running a full backup resolved it. To clarify the exact steps a bit, disabling circular logging was the only activity performed. We did
    not have to dismount any databases, activate passive copies, restart IS, reseed, modify the registry or anything of the sort. Following this, we ran a full backup using a 3rd party solution with an Exchange agent (Backup Exec), not Windows
    Server Backup, so I can't vouch whether or not there's a difference there. The backup job was configured to auto-select the best copy available, which ended up targetting a passive copy, so there doesn't seem to be a dependency on backing up specifically from
    an active vs a passive copy. After the full backup completed, the warnings never re-emerged.

  • Replay only particular logs (before a certain date) to restored Exchange 2010 database?

    Hello,
    I'm doing Exchange 2010 database full backup using windows server backup (windows 2008 R2) every weekend. I have a Mac user which Mac Outlook 2011 which somehow managed to corrupt his mailbox. I.e. on Wednesday many messages and contacts disappeared (all
    contact gone) after his Outlook told his something about "corrupted database". I'm not sure what Mac Outlook did, but fact is that his mailbox has zero contacts and many inbox message are gone. Hard deleted items don't contain lost messages. 
    So I have DB backup from weekend before and weekend after. No circular logging, so all logs in place.
    Is there a way how I can restore his mailbox back to the point in time? I want to restore his mailbox how it was on Wednesday morning. For it looks obvious that since I have log files from Monday to Friday, it should be possible to replay logs until certain
    time. 
    I tried to did thick trick by removing Friday and Thursday logs and doing soft recovery, but got Operation terminated with error -543 (JET_errRequiredLogFilesMissing, The required log files for recovery is missing.) They indeed missing:
             dbtime: 2221857861 (0x846edc45)
              State: Dirty Shutdown
       Log Required: 2895446-2895464 (0x2c2e56-0x2c2e68)
      Log Committed: 0-2895465 (0x0-0x2c2e69)
     Log Recovering: 2838005 (0x2b4df5)
    Log required are logs from they day of backup, so they are really missed in that case, but that's what I want - restore DB with less/older logs to get back in time, when mailbox was not corrupted.
    Is that possible? 
    Thanks

    ok so the problem is you have the dreaded  -1018 error and this is a very serious issue. -1018 is not a good deal at all, in short your DB has corruption within it
    and it is usually caused by a hardware or firmware related issue. Most of the time these occur somewhere within the storage subsystem, i.e. firmware upgrade or lack of firmware upgrade, Controller issue, cabling, disk, disk arrays, etc, however they can
    also be caused by memory upgrades or failures, Motherboard issues etc.   The -1018 tells you the DB is already damaged and if you see these its very bad and needs to be addressed ASAP else the DB's are sure to fail and the more stress you put on
    them the faster the chance of failure, i.e. database backups, defrag;s and repairs etc are not recommended at all until you solve the hardware issue.  So here is what I would recommend:
    A: Lets try to ensure the box is stable and whatever caused the DB to get the -1018's is solved before we do anything else.
    General Review:  Whats changed recently?  i.e. any hardware, memory, motherboard, any firmware updates on anything at all?
    Event Log Review: Look at your Application Log, how long have these 1018's been occurring?   Look at your System event log for errors and pay close attention to any errors regarding disk, memory or MB and report back
    Protect: I would dismount the database & copy it and any others off to a secure, safe drive that is NOT connected to this system
    Action:  Depending on what you find in your review there are really two options
         i: If you had a recent change that is easily identifiable you may be able to correct it and then we can look at finding a clean copy of the EDB and rolling up the logs OR we opt to repair the DB you have
         ii: if you cannot find the issue in short order then I would suggest that you build a new Exchange Server on new hardware and migrate your mailboxes immediately.
    B: Once you have addressed the -1018 issue then;
    1. We need to find a database from your backups that does NOT have the -1018 result code when attempting a rollup.
    2. Once you have a non -1018 result you can then grab a fresh copy of the EDB along with all logs from that point forward and make a consistent DB via rollup up to the 18th as desired.
    3. If you cannot find a good copy of the EDB then you are stuck with the latest data you have and should either move all mailboxes to a new EDB on that server but ONLY IF the source of the -1018 is found and resolved, else you will just be making thing s
    worse.  IF you CANNOT resolve the issue that causes the -1018 then build a brand new server and move all users over to it ASAP, else you are headed for a major failure on all users.

  • Exchange 2010 personal archive database massive log file generation

    Exchange Server 2010 SP3 + Update Rollup 4
    Windows Server 2008 R2, all updates
    VMware ESXi 5.5
    Server config: 2 x Xeon Quad Core 2.20GHz, 16GB RAM
    We recently started using personal archives. I created a database for this purpose ("Archive Mailboxes") on the same datastore as our live mailbox database ("Live Mailboxes"). It works great except that the mailbox maintenance generates
    massive amounts of log files, over 220GB per day on average. I need to know why. The Live Mailbox database generates around 70GB of log files every day. The database sizes are: Live = 159.9GB, Archive = 196.8GB. Everything appears to be working fine, there
    are no Error events related to archiving. There are 10025 MSExchangeMailboxAssistant warning events logged every day. I have moved those mailboxes back-and-forth to temp databases (both Live and Archive mailboxes) and the 10025 events have not stopped so I'm
    reasonably certain there is no corruption. Even if there were it still doesn't make sense to me that over 100 log files are generated every single minute of the day for the Archive store. And it's not that the database isn't being fully backed up; it is, every
    day.
    Do I need to disable the 24x7 option for mailbox maintenance to stop this massive log file generation? Should I disable mailbox maintenance altogether for the Archive store? Should I enable circular logging for the Archive store (would prefer to NOT do this,
    though I am 100% certain we have great backups)? It appears to me that mailbox maintenance on the Live store takes around 12 hours to run so I'm not sure it needs the 24x7 option.
    This is perplexing. Need to find a solution. Backup storage space is being rapidly consumed.

    I'm sure it will be fine for maintenance to run only on weekends so I'll do that.
    We use Veeam B&R Enterprise 7.0.0.833. We do not run incremental backups during the day but probably could if necessary. All this is fine and dandy but it still doesn't explain why this process generates so many logs. There are a lot of posts around
    the internet from people with the same issue so it would be nice to hear something from Microsoft, even if this is expected behavior.
    Thank you for the suggestions!

  • Exchange 2010 Log files keep filling up following migration from Exchange 2003

    I am migrating from Exchange server 2003 to 2010.
    Having only moved one mailbox and set-up Public Folder replication, I noticed that the 20GB Drive allocated for the logs are filling up the entire drive, even before I have time to run my scheduled backup.
    As a temporary measure, I have enable circular logging as a workaround.
    Q/ Whilst this is not ideal, shall I leave it like this until the Public Folders are fully replicated and all mailboxes moved over?
    Q/ What risk am I exposing myself to as a result of using Circular logging (I am running full backups every night).
    Q/ Could there be another cause as to why the log files would grow so quick in such a short amount of time?

    Hello,
    Remember that logs are truncated after successful backups so if you have a lot of data replicated between backups, a lot of logs will be stored on disk.
    "Q/ Whilst this is not ideal, shall I leave it like this until the Public Folders are fully replicated and all mailboxes moved over?"
    The best option is to run backups to truncate logs. Circular Logging is useful in test and high available deployments as it can cause data loss (loss of data created between backups).
    "Q/ What risk am I exposing myself to as a result of using Circular logging (I am running full backups every night)."
    The same as mentioned above.
    "Q/ Could there be another cause as to why the log files would grow so quick in such a short amount of time?"
    Enormous logs generation can be caused by bugs in Exchange and connecting devices, i.e. iPhones can cause quick logs creation in some configurations. If you have latest Exchange 2010 build, it shouldn't be problem.
    Hope it helps,

  • Exchange 2010 - Load balancing transaction logs in a DAG

    I have a single Exchange 2010 DAG.  Within the DAG, I have two mailbox servers.  I have 2 DB's mounted on server A, and 3 DB's mounted on server B.
    The size and quantity of transaction logs on server A always seem to be larger.  It might be the nature of the mailboxes on server A, but I was wondering if there is a tool or script to verify best practices for how the transaction logs should be configured.
    Thanks

    So one of the DBs is not replicated? Im not sure what you mean by "how the transaction logs should be configured".
    You only real choices are disk location, whether you want to lag a copy or if you want to enable circular logging. Things that with 2 mailbox servers you wouldn't want do other than define the disk location. Otherwise, there isn't much to configure as far
    as the logging.

    Hi,
    To understand more about the issue, I’d like to confirm the following information:
    1. What’s your Exchange 2010 version? 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2536517/en-us
    2. Do you install other software, like SQL, on the same Exchange Server?
    3. Change another admin account to access EMS.

  • Exchange 2010 task scheduled scripts not working if not logged on

    Hi All,
    I have done a script for Exchange 2010 and I would like to create a scheduled task for it.
    I have followed the guidance of Mike Pfeiffer's blog.
    http://www.mikepfeiffer.net/2010/02/creating-scheduled-tasks-for-exchange-2010-powershell-scripts/
    However when I set the task as  “Run whether user is logged on or not”, it only works if the user running the task is the administrator. The task is run with high privileges.
    If I do it with a service account (local admin, exchange org admin) it works only when:
    -You run the script for an interactive session of the user or a runas cmd
    -You set the Task as “Run only when the user is logged on” (and the user is logged on)
    If I run the Task as “Run whether user is logged on or not” and the user is not logged on, I get an error on the connection command "Connect-ExchangeServer -auto" (and the task hangs waiting for an answer). The transcript is as follows:

    I experienced a similar symptom where the scheduled task was getting stuck in the "Running" state. I searched the web for others who have experienced this issue with scheduled tasks, and what I found is that there could be a few reasons why
    this might happen. 
    I resolved my problem by adding -NonInteractive switch before the -command parameter.
    Hope it helps...
    In my case, -NonInteractive does indeed stop the task from getting stuck in a perpetual Running state (until it times out based on the settings in scheduled task), but I was able to deduce why by using Start-Transcript and Stop-Transcript.
    Basically, the connection to Exchange is failing some reason and it sits at a prompt waiting for you to enter a FQDN for an Exchange server (same problem as the OP).  Adding -NonInteractive to the scheduled task does indeed prevent the task from getting
    stuck waiting for someone to enter a FQDN at a prompt that they cannot interact with, the script still does not execute correctly.  Essentially, adding the "-NonInteractive" switch does not fix the underlying problem of the Exchange connection
    failing.
    As far as I am able to tell, this has something do with a WinRM problem.  I'm having the same problem as the OP and am trying to troubleshoot it.  In my case, deleting the user profile for the service account does not fix the problem.

    I have tried the "fsutil resource setautoreset true" fix without success.
    Any ideas or direction would be much appreciated. Restoring this server will be extremely difficult.
    Thanks!

    We can close this question.
    From an elevated prompt, I ran 'fsutil resource setautoreset true' and attempted to remove the files with .blf and regtrans-ms file extensions from C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR. but these files were locked by system processes. (They are also
    tagged with the hidden file attrib so you may not see them at first)
    So, I booted the system with a Windows 2008 R2 Install Disk, selected repair OS and selected the command prompt. I then performed a chkdsk /f c: and selected "Y" to unmount the drive. It made some repairs.
    With the system booted from the install disk, and chkdsk executed, the locks were freed and I was able to delete the files from C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR.
    Once the system rebooted, the services came back fine and everything was back to normal.
