For any given mailbox, the homeMTA property of the user object in AD should point to where the active copy is.
For the users in question, is that set the same on all of your DCs? In Exchange 2007 you used to have to update this property manually if you failed over to a replicated server. In 2010, I believe the CAS servers are supposed to take care of this automatically.

I don't even know how this is possible if db is mounted on one server and yet there can be mailboxes living on the passive/non-active node.

Exchange 2010 SP1 RU5. 5 member DAG, 2 mb server in the primary datacenter (nyc1xmb001), 2 in DR site (stm1xmb001) and one last one in Primary DC blocked from activation for backup. I ran the following to gauge which users are on a particular mailbox database, [PS] D:\Install\PowerShellScripts>get-mailboxdatabase NYC1XMB001_L_to_M | get-mailbox Name Alias ServerName ProhibitSendQuota ---- ----- ---------- ----------------- Minze, p pminze nyc1xmb001 463.9 MB (486,400,000 bytes) Monica, t tmonica nyc1xmb001 unlimited Locklear, A alocklear stm1xmb001 unlimited Lipsky, E elipsky stm1xmb001 unlimited All users on nyc1xmb001_l_to_m should be hosted in the stm1xmb001 server and yet both the GUI/commandline suggest that some mailboxes are living on one in Primary DC and some on secondary Datacenter.
