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:
- Restore any edits you made to RedistributeActiveDatabases.ps1.
- Verify the hash on both Exchange servers.
- Open a Microsoft support case referencing:
- Exchange SE build 15.2.2562.17
RedistributeActiveDatabases.ps1Deserialized.Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.DatabaseAvailabilityGroup$dag.Serversreturned asSystem.String
- Use manual database activation moves as needed until Microsoft provides a corrected script.
