Redistribute, Re-balance Exchange 2013 databases across a Database Access Group (DAG)

OK, firstly, remember it is in the nature of my blog to give short, concise notes with little background. So this entry certainly comes under the header of Mick's personal notes. We will be looking at the Microsoft provided script named:

RedistributeActiveDatabases -DagName <YourDagName> -switches

If your really want to know all about this script, you will need to study the following:

I will be concentrating on the switch: -BalanceDBsByActivationPreference which will move the databases around based on the original 'map' you set when the databases were created. Example:

RedistributeActiveDatabases -DagName DAG1 -BalanceDBsByActivationPreference

Cheers!
