Cannot remove DAG member server or database copy

$

0

I am attempting to rebuild my DAG by removing the database copies and the availability group member servers.  I am getting errors that server01/mdb01 and server02/mdb01 cannot be found on the domain controller ad01 or ad02 (if i manually specify ad02). However when I check ADSI Edit it shows the mdb01 exists and has copies on server01 and server02 and that dag01 exists.

How can I resolve this without removing mdb01 via ADSI edit, I would rather not do this, despite having no user mailboxes the discovery search and arbitration mailboxes are on this database.  Below are my error outputs

This is my Exchange settings for the DAG

These are the error messages I see when trying to change DAG memerships and copies.  

[PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\scripts>Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity ex-g4-mbx01\mdb01

[PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\scripts>Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup

ex-g4-dag01      {EX-G4-MBX02, EX-G4-MBX01}

You can see from my ADSI that the mailbox does exist and has the mailbox database copies shown clearly.
