Hello,

The content Index State of all my Exchange 2013 databases are Unknown some times Failed or FailedandSuspended. I have troubleshooted by deleting and rebuilding the Catalog folder, Which works for only a while on some databases and on the others no effect even shows up.

I have a DAG configured.

Hi,

The issue may be related to a security group that is named "ContentSubmitters." 

To resolve the issue, do the following:

1. Create a new Active Directory group that is named "ContentSubmitters" and then grant Admistrators and NetworkService full access to the group. This is a dummy group and should be used as a placeholder only. You might want to add a description so that the group is not removed.
2. Force or wait for Active Directory replication.
3. Restart the following services:
   • Microsoft Exchange Search
   • Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller
