SYMPTOMS

Assume that you enable the circular logging feature in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 environment, and then you reseed the standby continuous replication (SCR) on the passive node. In this situation, the reseed operation is unsuccessful, and the transaction log is truncated. Additionally, you have to manually copy the missing log file from another SCR node.
