I've encountered a problem where the ContentIndexState of my three MB databases are failed on one DAG member and two of the three are failed on the other.
Identity ContentIndexState
-------- -----------------
Employees01\LNXHQ-EX01 Failed
Executives01\LNXHQ-EX01 Failed
Nexus01\LNXHQ-EX01 Failed
Identity ContentIndexState
-------- -----------------
Employees01\LNXHQ-EX02 Healthy
Executives01\LNXHQ-EX02 Failed
Nexus01\LNXHQ-EX02 Failed
I have attempted to run the
ResetSearchIndex.ps1 -force
command on the Nexus01 database but the message i've been getting in the shell for the last hour is:
WARNING: Waiting for service 'Microsoft Exchange Search Indexer (MSExchangeSearch)' to finish stopping..
I am not sure what is going on but I can't wait for this service indefinitely. I need to reuild the search catalogs but I cannot get this service down. Any suggestions?
