I have configured the alternate witness server with the below command. I have not included the parameter of alternate witness directory so Exchange can create it at default location. <br />
<br />
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGr<wbr />oup -Identity DAG-Name -AlternateWitnessServer tl-ws.thevlab.com<br />
<br />
The command run successfully and Excange shows alternate witness server and directory path &nbsp;in powersehll. &nbsp;However, Exchange has not created the directory at back-end in alternate witness server. <br />
<br />
Is it normal behavior? or should I need to create the directory manually for alternate witness server.
