Increase DAG Failover Threshold

Configuration:

Site 1:  1 DAG member, 1 Quorum member
Site 2:  1 DAG member

Active mailbox stores exist on both DAG members, with passive copies of each other on the other site's server (does that make sense?)

Anyway, sometimes, there is a 5 second network interruption between the two sites', but I don't want this to spark a failover to the DAG at the site w/ the quorum server, since the network comes up after 5 seconds and everything is fine.

 What are the commands to increase the wait-time before we fail over to the site with the quorum member for all mailbox stores?

i have not seen any method to avoid the 250ms max latency
you most likely need to find a way to adjust the active manager settings

cool, 10 seconds sounds like a good start -- I'll give this a shot...I'm a novice at this, would these commands be run in the Exchange command console?
you could run them from anywhere as they are not powershell cmdlets
run CMD as administrator and run them
I've issued the commands and they appear successful, so I'll go ahead and close the question.  I think it will be fine.  I can't figure out a way to really tell whether it resolved the issue until we have another network failure.  I used the maximum of 40 seconds to give us enough time to allow for a failover to a new pipe should it be required.  Thanks!
