DAG Network identity grow up Exchange 2013

Hi, I have Exchange 2013 CU7

suddenly we have so many DAG Network identity. sample like this

\ReplicationDagNetwork10044 True                                    {}                                    
\ReplicationDagNetwork10045 True                                    {}                                    
\ReplicationDagNetwork10046 True                                    {}                                    
\ReplicationDagNetwork10047 True                                    {}                                    
\ReplicationDagNetwork10048 True                                    {}                                    

iam suspicious this is because of DHCP NIC, I add additional NIC coule days ago.

I already disable this NIC

when I run get-databaseavailabilitygroupnetwork , it takes a long time.

I run batch script to delete all weird DAg network but it takes a long time too.

can I Remove DAGNetwork Properties from ADSI Edit (Active Directory) ?

or is there any other method to delete all DAG Network?

Regards

Hi Ichwan Lubis

we are faces this issue before, so when you delete the dagnetwork by run the below command 

Use Remove-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork 

it's rediscovered again and added automatically,

you must to disabled the network on the cluster level, will be removed from the dag network.

so to solve this issue you must to go to failover cluster manager console and disabled it for the cluster use.

thanks

thanks

Hi,

According to your description, I understand that the DAG replication network is grow up abnormal.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Basis on Microsoft document, DHCP is support for Exchange 2013 DAG, for your reference:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638104(v=exchg.150).aspx
Its very strange, please restart Cluster service and run below command to get details about replication network:
Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork | FL Identity,Subnets,Interfaces

If DAG network shows misconfigured, please refer to below blog to troubleshooting:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/shekhar37k/archive/2014/06/03/dag-network-shows-misconfigured-in-exchange-2013-server.aspx
Besides, please use Remove-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork <Identity> to remove unused network.

Thanks
