For Exchange 2010.

Current functions:

• Find database copies with failed content index
• Fix database copies with failed content index
• List active database copies
• List passive database copies
• List backup status

This script keeps returning to the main menu until exit is selected.

Use at your own risk. Don’t blame me if something goes horribly wrong.
