Unable to switchover databses in DAG

When I try to switch database in my DAG I get the following error

error
mail2k16.wienerrealtors.com
Server "mail2k16.wienerrealtors.com" is enabled for DatabaseCopyActivationDisabledAndMoveNow. Moving databases to such servers may be ineffective because the system will automatically attempt to move again as soon as a healthy copy is detected.

Is the database healthy? Why are you changing it? We need more information.

Unless to turn off that parameter, exchange will try to reactivate database copy on same source server as being it has healthy database copy

assumption is you have total two database copies

Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.

You can set that property to false:

Set-MailboxServer "mail2k16.wienerrealtors.com" -DatabaseCopyActivationDisabledAndMoveNow $false

This will then allow the DBs to become active on this server and remain active unless a failover or manually failover.
