Anyone else suffering from the RedistributeActiveDatabases.ps1 script wont load balance a DAG environment post Sept 2026 Exchange Security Patch?

This matches a known class of Exchange remoting/serialization regressions that have appeared in various Exchange 2019 / Exchange SE updates where scripts expecting native Exchange objects instead receive deserialized objects through the remote Exchange runspace. [learn.microsoft.com], [reddit.com]

Recommendation

At this point I would:

  1. Restore any edits you made to RedistributeActiveDatabases.ps1.
  2. Verify the hash on both Exchange servers.
  3. Open a Microsoft support case referencing:
    • Exchange SE build 15.2.2562.17
    • RedistributeActiveDatabases.ps1
    • Deserialized.Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.DatabaseAvailabilityGroup
    • $dag.Servers returned as System.String
  4. Use manual database activation moves as needed until Microsoft provides a corrected script.
