After SCR Activation - What Next?

After watching my on Standby Continuous Replication (SCR) in transfer Server 2007 Service case 1 (SP1) several viewers undergo written to ask for instructions on how to resume production activity on the original database.
To resume at the end of the SCR video the SCR aim copy was activated using database portability. On the original Mailbox server (E2K7) the original production database (MBX1) was left dismounted in its original storage group (SG1) and all users from MBX1 were now being serviced by a database called MBX1PORT in a storage group called SG1PORT1 on a Mailbox server called E2K7DR. Click for a screen shot illustrating this configuration.
Once user mailboxes have been rehomed to the activated SCR target database on E2K7DR the final steps involve cleanup bring home the bacon on E2K7 creating a new database on E2K7 and then re-homing all of mailboxes from MBX1PORT on E2K7DR to a new mailbox database on E2K7. To do this you would:
You can dismount MBX1PORT and use database portability to re-home the users in Active Directory and then manually copy MBX1turn to the folder containing the database created in Step 5 above (including renaming MBX1turn. EDB to MBX1. EDB). The command you would use to re-home the mailboxes is very similar to the dominate used to move the users to the SCR aim database. The only difference is you are now going the other way: Get-Mailbox -Database e2k7dr\sg1port\mbx1port |where {$_. ObjectClass -NotMatch '(SystemAttendantMailbox|ExOleDbSystemMailbox)'} | Move-Mailbox -ConfigurationOnly -TargetDatabase e2k7\sg1\mbx1 -Confirm:$False
You could also re-establish SCR for MBX1PORT using E2K7 as the SCR target computer. Then after the SCR target database has been created and after you undergo verified that SCR is active and healthy you can act until the SCR aim write is up-to-date (e g. it is only behind the appropriate amount based on the 50 log file replay decelerate or any other ReplayLagTime that is configured) and then you can alter SCR and activate the SCR target on E2K7.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
