Unable to add the MB server into DAG

Hello EE,


User generated image


The above is my LAB setup. I've configured the CAS array successfully and created the DAG, added MB1 into DAG but unable to add MB2 to DAG. The error was populating as follows when adding MB2 into DAG.




Summary: 2 item(s). 1 succeeded, 1 failed.
Elapsed time: 00:09:05


MB1
Completed

Exchange Management Shell command completed:
Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer -MailboxServer 'MB1' -Identity 'DAG'

Elapsed Time: 00:08:56


MB2
Failed

Error:
The Microsoft Exchange Replication service does not appear to be running on "mb2". Make sure that the server is operating, and that the services can be queried remotely.

As per the error it says the Replication service is not started on the Box MB2, but I've checked and it's working fine, recycled the service, and rebooted the box MB2. But still I'm facing the same problem.

I'm using Hyper-V and all those are Virtual Machines.

both my servers are members of the Exchange subsystem trusted group. the exchange subsystem trusted group has full control over the dag object. the operation of adding mailbox servers succeeds on the local server i am running it on, but fails to add the remote server, the above suggestions did not help me,
i am running server 2012 DC, exchage 2010 both server have their firewall off.
any other suggestions ?
