Hello,  Thanks in advance for all replies.  I have been practicing setting up mirroring between two development servers in preparation for mirroring our production server in a few weeks.  I started by setting the servers up with minimum security which worked easily, then I set it up in lock down mode again without any issues.  Now I am setting it up in lockdown mode with encryption and this one is testing me.  I have everything setup but my async dr member cannot connect to the primary.   from cconsole.log 3/23/17-10:09:39:851 (3124) 0 [SYSTEM MONITOR] Mirror status changed. Member type = Not Member, Status = 03/23/17-10:11:17:095 (3496) 0    Loaded mirror set member: CORPARTAPP2/CACHE 03/23/17-10:11:17:095 (3496) 0    Loaded mirror set member: CORRARTAPP1/CACHE 03/23/17-10:11:17:130 (3612) 0 Mirror manager for BILLSMIRROR starting 03/23/17-10:11:19:046 (3612) 2 Async member for BILLSMIRROR started but failed to connect to primary 03/23/17-10:11:42:133 (3124) 0 [SYSTEM MONITOR] Mirror status changed.
