Hi, I have Exchange 2013 with 4 MBX roles.
I want to set witness server and use the command:
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup DAG01 -WitnessServer DAGFSW -WitnessDirectory C:\DAG01
After couple of seconds I'm getting the following error:
WARNING: Unable to find CNO 'DAG01'.
Unable to change the quorum for database availability group DAG01. Witness server
'\\dagfsw.hosting.local\DAG01.hosting.local' network name wasn't found. This may be due to firewall settings.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup], DagTaskProblemC...ptionBadNetName

ment.SystemConfigurationTasks.SetDatabaseAvailabilityGroup
+ PSComputerName : exmbx01.hosting.local
As for the error: unable to find CNO 'DAG01' - The CNO exist and I can ping dag01 successfully.
Firewall is not the problem here, I also tried different shared folder and I'm getting the same error.
I have no problem configuring the shared folder as witness folder using cluster manager,
How can I resolve this so my DAG will get its witness server and won't collapse on 2 nodes failure?
Are you able to view the properties of the DAG with the below command?
Open in new window
Also, have a look at your Exchange servers Failover Cluster Manager and see if there are any cluster alerts\events and that all resources are online.
