Hi,
I am configuring SQL AlwaysOn backups in our environment. The first step will backup the databases, that works fine, the last step is to remove files older than 3 days, that works fine ...The problem is the Shrink Database command that runs second wont work ..it keeps failing with the error:
"Property Size is not available for Database 'Database_Name'. This property may not exist for this object, or may not be retrievable due to insufficient access rights. "
I've googled but cant find anything related to this error. I can run sp_helpdb and get all of the information i need (when connecting in with the ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly switch)
I am running the backups from the secondary server. Is it not possible to Shrink the DB from the secondary server as this runs fine from the primary?
cheers,
Jon
