Error when you run an Update cmdlet in an Exchange Server 2010 environment: The network path was not found

Original KB number:   2770541

Symptoms

When you run an Update cmdlet in an Exchange Server 2010 environment, you receive an error message: The network path was not found. For example, when you run the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity "Database Name" -DeleteExistingFiles cmdlet in Exchange Management Shell, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

The network path was not found. Warning: An unexpected error has occurred and a Watson dump is being generated: The network path was not found.

Cause

This issue occurs because the Remote Registry service is stopped on the server where you run the Update cmdlet.

Workaround

To work around this issue, start the Remote Registry service. To do this, follow steps:

1. On the computer where you want to run the cmdlet, select Start, type services.msc in the Start Search box, and then press Enter. Microsoft Management Console starts with the Services snap-in open.
2. In the console pane, right-click Remote Registry, and then select Start.
