This is a strange one. When I try to create a new mailbox database (NOT a DAG copy) it fails:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>new-mailboxdatabase -Server 'JE-COL-EXCH1' -Name 'MBX Store RE1' -EdbFilePath 'Y:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\MBX Store RE1\MBX Store RE1.edb' -LogFolderPath 'Y:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\MBX
Store RE1'
The location for LogFolderPath isn't on a fixed drive.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [New-MailboxDatabase], ArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 78652C6B,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.NewMailboxDatabase However, I can go into the Exchange Management Console and create the database successfully. The cmdlet used to create
the database?
new-mailboxdatabase -Server 'JE-COL-EXCH2' -Name 'MBX Store RE1' -EdbFilePath 'y:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\MBX Store RE1\MBX Store RE1.edb' -LogFolderPath 'y:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\MBX Store RE1'
As far as I can tell, it's the same cmdlet. I've restarted the Information Store service and closed and re-opened the command shell.
Any ideas how to fix this? I am very used to working at the command line, the wizard just takes too long.
TIA
