I've been at this for a while. Hoping someone has a little insight.
Two node CCR cluster... the active node is working and functioning fine. the passive node stopped being replicated for unknown reasons and fails to start replicating. A consulting group enabled circular logging on the storage groups. Exchange console under mailbox reports "copy status" of all storage groups as "not configured." Get-storagegroup reports that all the SG's are clustered. I have no option in the console to reseed, only option is "suspend storage group copy." Test-replicationhealth on the active node shows no errors. On the passive node...
----------
An RPC request to the Microsoft Exchange Replication service did not return a Cluster ContinuousReplication copy status for storage group 'Triton \Users-ABC'. The Microsoft Exchange Replication service may be down.
---------

We have full backups on tape if needed. Thoughs
1. MS refers to an issue that arises if enabling circular logging is not done correctly can result in store thinking circular logging is on and replication service thinks its off or viceversa.
2. Can I reseed a passive node with circular logging on? I looked on active node and have the last hour of transaction logs and a database file that is 50G. When i try to restart replication the application log reports
------
The log file 85809 for Triton\Users-ABC is missing on the production copy. Continuous replication for this storage group is blocked. If you removed the log file, please replace it. If the log is lost, the passive copy will need to be reseeded using the Update-StorageGroupCopy cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell.

I would appreciate any ideas anyone might have. Let me know if additional information is needed.

Thanks,
Dan
