Database passive content index state stays FailedAndSuspended even after reseeding

I have a mailbox database with two copies in a database availability group, the active copy is healthy and its content index state reports healthy as well, the passive copy is healthy but its content index state reports FailedAndSuspended.
I tried the: Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy <DBName>\<ServerName> -CatalogOnly more than one time, it completes (says 100KB written) but the state never changes.
I even tried to manually stop the service>delete CI>start the service, the CI folder was recreated (about 1 GB) but still the state is still FailedAndSuspended.
Please Help!

I found the following warning in the event log,
Event ID: 1009
The indexing of mailbox database Main-EX02-DB1 encountered an unexpected exception. Error details: Microsoft.Exchange.Search.Core.Abstraction.OperationFailedException: The component operation has failed. ---> Microsoft.Exchange.Search.Core.Abstraction.CatalogReseedException:

Hi,
Please check the following article and see if it can resolve your problem.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2807668
Please check the active database, make sure the content index is healthy. If possible, please rebuild content index of active database. And then reseed passive database copy to check result.

Content Index State Crawling

We have an Exchange database that seems to always have a Content Index State that is crawling. Some end users have complained about slow searches and indexing issues (which is expected). We have
stopped the search services and renamed the catalog directory in an effort to rebuild the search catalog, but it just goes right back to crawling. The database is only about 300GB, so I don't think size is an issue.
Could it be there is some corruption on the database that is causing issues with the index catalog. We have removed the database from the DAG and tried it as a stand alone database, with the same
results.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

did you find anything in the event viewer (app/Sys logs).
You may consider restarting Search Indexer service and then check if that gets healthy or not.
If it still doesn't say healthy then you might have to consider Resetting Search Index for problematic Database or all database if all if it is a problem with all databases.
Refer to the link below to get info about how to reset Search index for a database.

Exchange 2013: Content Index State Failed

I am running two, two node DAG's with Exchange 2013.
One DAG pair is running 5 databases with Server 2012 Standard and the second DAG pair is running Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard with a single shared database.
No matter what I try, ALL 6 databases show "ContentIndexState: Failed" with "ContentIndexErrorMessage: An internal error occurred for the database or its index.".
I have tried rebuilding the indexes manually, automatically and manually copying the database files between servers. I also receive errors when trying to failover the databases because the content index state is failed.
In my test environment I have a very similar setup working fine with no issues.
Please let me know what I can try to get this resolved.
The error I receive when running the following set of commands is:
suspend-MailboxDatabaseCopy dag2db1\mbox1
update-MailboxDatabaseCopy dag2db1\mbox1 -deleteexistingfiles
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>update-mailboxdatabasecopy dag2db1\mbox1 -deleteexistingfiles

Hi Folks,
Here we go;
"On
August 14th, we announced the removal of the
MS13-061 Security Update for Exchange Server 2013 due to an issue where the patch changed settings for the search infrastructure, placing the content index for all databases into a failed state. As of today, we have released updated security updates
for both Exchange 2013 RTM CU1 and Exchange 2013 RTM CU2."

After installing this patch (Exchange2013-KB2874216-v2-x64-en.msp) seeding of the databases was impossible.
Error:

Looking at the two services mentioned in this warning I've noticed the Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller (HostControllerService)

Content index state: Failed

Hi.
I have been restoring the entire Windows after a bigger problem in the past. However, there were data for Exchange server at a completely different disk which was not affected.
But now I can not load up OWA and when you look in the ECP so says the following under databases "Content index state: Failed"
I have tried to repair it but without any success.
The operation couldn't be performed because object '0747478411\MAIL-SERVER01' couldn't be found on 'server'.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy], ManagementObjectNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DD4CF704,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.UpdateDatabaseCopy
+ PSComputerName : mail-server01
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy "0747478411\MAIL-SERVER01" -CatalogOnly
All i have in owa now is
something went wrong
Sorry, we can't get that information right now. Please try again later. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.

Hi Jesper,
Thank you for your question.
By my understanding, we should not simply recover window system, we should performance a disaster recover for Exchange by the following link:

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,

Content Index State = 5?

Hi all,
I have a sort of strange issue. When i look at the database copies check the ContentIndexState column, i would have expected the status to be 'Healthy' or 'FailedAndSuspended' or even 'Crawling'. I have two copies where the status is simply just '5'. Anyone
have some idea what is happening here and how to correct it?
/Trev

Hi,
Agree with Andy. Please run the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy cmdlet against this database copy to check result.
You can also rebuild content index to check result, the time of rebuding index is based on the database size.

IPAD Screen Stays Black even after reset.

Hello
I have a case similar to the one posted by darKnghtV on Jun 24, 2012 10:12 AM related to screen stays Black.
after I have stopped using the device for 3 days, I came back and the screen came back on. I reset the device to factory setting and it has been working fine for two days.
how can I confirm if the issue is a hardware or software?
if the device is defective, how can I exhaust the screen to show the issue again so I can take it to the service center?
Regards

I have done this few times.
however I had to use screen shot, view the image from my PC to have the unit reset to factory setting. even after that screen wouldn’t start.
when I took it in the car and it was a hot day, I reach the work shop and the unit was really worm, screen came back on and it did not go black again for the past three days.
what is puzzling me, was it fixed after the reset and it is a software issue, or is it a hardware ?

Spell Check Box stays up even after sending mail.

Lion truly has some bugs. More annoyances, which is what bugs are I guess. I noticed that in Mail now, after you hit send and cycle through all the spell check changes, the spell check box remains open, even after you've sent the email off. I know it's just one click to close it, but it makes you think the mail didn't get sent. It's so more official when everything just closes up, you know? Am I being too picky here?

yep same here, my spell check box stays open - any fixes?

Why does the print cue window stay open even after job is done?

In Tiger, and every other version of OSX I have any recollection of using, the printer window opens to display what's in the cue when you select to print something. Once printing is done, this cue closes. Since installing Leopard, everytime we print from our iMac, MacBook or MBP, the print cue window stays open indefinitely after the job is done, requiring a manual closing of the window. I can't for the life of me fathom what benefit this brings or who would want this. Is this part of Leopard or a problem with our install? Something I can turn off?

If you control-click (or right click) on the open printer queue in the Dock you can choose to have it auto close once the spool file is sent.
As to why this is necessary in Leopard, well I haven't seen a good enough answer to date...

Content Index State Failed - Exchange 2010 2 Node Dag

Hello,
Last night I needed to restart one of my Exchange 2010 DAG nodes. I moved all Active Database copies of this node to the other node in the DAG. I then restarted the node with no Active Database copies. When the server came back up I moved
the Active Database copies back onto the node that they were initially on. The node that I restarted now shows the ContentIndexState of all Databases as "Failed". Test-replicationhealth gives the following results:

The issue is that sometimes the file that comes on the file location gets locked i.e it stays in .inprogress status and is not processed further even if host instances of both the receive servers are stopped. If we try to rename the file we keep getting
an error that the file is being worked upon by some program.
Please suggest what to do.

--We have 2 BizTalk servers to receive the input files.---
It happened due to 2 BizTalk servers.
Try to rename from command prompt (DOS) using admin access or try to move the file inside some other folder.

Envelope or Indexing keeps getting corrupt even after mutliple imports

Similar to the Mail has Gone Nuts post, the indexing for Mac Mail 2.1 on Tiger 10.4.10 keeps getting corrupt although I am not using a .mac account which is what most of that particular post is centered on. I say corrupt as my inbox will say it has several hundred messages but will only show a few messages. I am trying to clean the mailbox up by moving email, deleting, etc. After awhile I cannot move messages out of the inbox to another folder - even when I try to move one email. I can create a new mailbox for archiving but I still cannot move. I ran the disk permission utility to make sure it was not a permission error. After a bit all the mail in the inbox disappears. I delete the envelope file, import to create a new one, and everything is fine for awhile. Then same cycle. Is anyone seeing the same issue or have any clues as to how to fix?

I got on the phone with Apple. We created a test user account and established an identical mailbox with our ISP. The email was downloaded and then it disappeared again when I clicked on the sent email box. Nothing else was loaded. So I was told it was an OSX issue. Reloaded that and mail seems to work now. Have a few other issues now but making some progress.

Why in COM, set smth true, stays true even after System.exit?

I am using "Jacob" to do COM calls. When I alter the "ShowAll" property of Word.Application and I set it to true, it will then forever be true even if I exit the application AND quit the word application. If I set it to false, the same thing happens, it will always be so. The code to call/set this is:
(NOTE: This uses classes I made to wrap the Dispatch calls)
Word wordApp = new Word();
Documents docs = wordApp.getDocuments();
Document doc = docs.open("D:\\JavaProjects\\Test.doc");
//GET VIEW
View wordView = wordApp.getActiveWindow().getView();
//PRINT THE VIEW PROPERTIES
System.out.println("Show All: " + wordApp.getActiveWindow().getView().isShowAll());
System.out.println("Show Paragraphs: " + wordApp.getActiveWindow().getView().isShowParagraphs());
//SET THE VIEW PROPERTIES
wordView.setShowAll(false);
wordView.setShowParagraphs(true);
//PRINT THEM AGAIN
System.out.println("Show All: " + wordApp.getActiveWindow().getView().isShowAll());
System.out.println("Show Paragraphs: " + wordApp.getActiveWindow().getView().isShowParagraphs());
doc.close(Document.DO_NOT_SAVE);
wordApp.quit(new Variant[] {});
System.exit(0);The actual Dispatch calls are:
//NO IDEA WHY THIS IS, BUT SHOWALL = TRUE IS -1, AND FALSE IS 0
private final static int SHOW_ALL_TRUE = -1;
private final static int SHOW_ALL_FALSE = 0;
/** SETSHOWPARAGRAPHS **
* Sets the property (boolean) ShowParagraphs.
public void setShowParagraphs(boolean showParagraphs)
     Dispatch.put(this, "ShowParagraphs", new Boolean(showParagraphs));
/** ISSHOWPARAGRAPHS **
* Returns Boolean of whether or not this is set to show paragraphs.
public boolean isShowParagraphs()
     return getBooleanValue(Dispatch.get(this, "ShowParagraphs"));
private boolean getBooleanValue(Variant variantBoolean)
     //MAKE IT AN INTEGER AND GET ITS int VALUE
     int intVariant = new Integer(variantBoolean.toString()).intValue();
     //RETURN IF IS SHOW ALL
     return (intVariant == View.SHOW_ALL_TRUE);
}I'm wondering if the problem is that I get back either -1 or 0 and if maybe that means something else?

1: Properties persistence is not a DEFECT but a FEATURE . It was implemented in MS Word so users could change MS word WITHOUT HAVING TO DO IT EACH TIME THEY START IT UP.
2: Don't you intialise all your variables in your code after you instanciated them ? I am sure you do so and therefore the persitence feature you described should not be annoying you at all. It is not necessary to intialise variables in the BASIC langage but that does not mean you should not do it.
3: (-1) was chosen arbitrary by Microsoft as the TRUE value for Boolean datatype and 0 the value for FALSE when they designed Visual Basic. This is not a problem if you write code properly
I recommend you test bool variable in any langages using the following test:
(myBool <> 0)
HAVE A THINK ABOUT IT
Finally,
you need to understand what you are working with before you complain about it.
Argument for Argument sake is not good and if you think MS word is a bad program just don't use it. go and write your own word processor in JAVA.
GOOD LUCK

My external hard drive stays on even after I turn off my iMac. Why?

New 24” iMac (see below)
I have connected my 800 Firewire LaCie 500 Gigabyte external hard drive and it works fine. However, it doesn't turn off after I have turned off my iMac! I used Tiger before this and the very same LaCie external drive always turned off (its blue light would go off).
I am sure that my iMac is Off and is not actually still On.
Please advise, because I am not sure what could happen to my LaCie hard drive if it stays on constantly.
As for the iMac, since the instructions mention turning if off, I figure that turning it off is not harmful. Various people at the Apple Store have told me that keeping the iMac on 24 hours a day is not detrimental to the machine but I am old fashioned, I guess...... with that old fashioned paranoia about letting machines stay on all day. If I am wrong, please tell me.

Dear Dennis at LaCie support: Thank you so much for your reply. I did what you said and did indeed discover that when I unplug the LaCie 500 gig hard drive from my iMac, the hard drive turns off, which proves that there is powering still sent through the FireWire bus. It did not turn off with Tiger on my older iMac (the round white semi-circular base iMac).
BTW: I also have a LaCie 125 gig external hard drive bought several years ago. I am assuming that it has a FireWire which is rated at that 400 rather than the 800 that my 500 gig hd has. Am I right? If yes, then I will look for the cord that matches that hd. I hope that LaCie prints the number on the cord because if not, I will have a hard time.
I do see that on the new 24“ Intel iMac, the 800 port is the one farthest to the right in the back of the iMac, and the 400 port is to the left of it.
Wish me luck. I still have to figure out how I will use the 125 gig. I am now using the 500 gig for the Time Machine backups and the .Mac Backup. Also, other of the usual.
Thank you again,, Dennis. Makes me glad I bought La Cie hard drives.
I hope that the smaller one doesn't fritz up on me, since I bought it several years ago.
