I’ve just updated the Get-DAGHealth.ps1 PowerShell script to version 1.1. The new version fixes some bugs with how the replication queues for lagged copies are handled, which seemed to be causing incorrect report results.

As an additional update I am pleased to announce that the script is now tested and working for Exchange Server 2013 database availability groups as well. I have not yet tested a mixed 2010/2013 org though.

You can download the new version here.

Please continue to report bugs and make feature requests in the comments on that post.

    Paul,
    Great script indeed!
    However 🙂
    It appears there still an issue with the replication queues of lagged databases.
    I’m using the script for a DAG that expands over 3 sites and 4 Exchange servers one of which all databases are lagged by 12 hours and I keep on getting a “failed” for the server “DB replay log not keeping up” on that particular Exchange server.
    Thank you,
    Hector

    Thanks, Paul.

    Please add encoding parameter to send message commandlet, like this:
    Send-MailMessage @smtpsettings -Body $htmlreport -BodyAsHtml -Encoding ([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8)

    Without this, when we have not English date and time format on server all dates in message will be not readable.
