New Database Availability Group operation
The New Database Availability Group process enables you to create a new Database Availability Group (DAG). A DAG is a set of mailbox servers that use continuous replication and managed availability to provide automatic database-level recovery from database, server, or network failures.
The adapter request parameters may differ according to the Microsoft Exchange Server version.
For the list of all supported parameters, refer to the New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup cmdlet in the Microsoft Exchange documentation specific to your version.
