    Using Test Cmdlets for the Client Access Server Role

    Several important Test cmdlets are also available for testing Client Access Servers. As shown in the following table, these cmdlets can test client connectivity to the Client Access Server, Exchange services status on the Client Access Server, whether the PowerShell remoting capability is functioning correctly, and so on.

    Use the following script to create the required user for the test: 

    PS C:\Program Files\Microsoft\
Exchange Server\V14\Scripts>
.\New-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1

    Then run the cmdlet:

    PS C:\Users\Administrator>
Test-WebServicesConnectivity

    Tip

    Before executing the Test-WebServicesConnectivity cmdlet, run the script New-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 to create a user that the cmdlet uses to test connectivity.

    Tests the functionality of Exchange Web Services (EWS) on a server that has the Client Access Server role installed.

    Note

    Exchange Web Services replaces many of the features found in WebDAV, CDOEX, and ExOLEDB, thus potentially reducing problems with applications requiring these earlier APIs. 

    PS C:\Users\Administrator>
Test-WebServicesConnectivity
-AllowUnsecureAccess

    		Tests Exchange Web Services on the local Client Access Server, but uses an unsecured connection that doesn’t require SSL.
    PS C:\Users\Administrator>
Get-ClientAccessServer |
Test-MRSHealth

    		Tests the health of an instance of the Mailbox Replication service on one or more Client Access Servers. In the example, you test all Client Access Servers.
    PS C:\Users\Administrator>
Test-PowerShellConnectivity
-ClientAccessServer Romac-EX2
-VirtualDirectoryName "PowerShell
(Default Web Site)"
-TrustAnySSLCertificate

    		Tests whether Windows PowerShell remoting on a Client Access Server is functioning correctly.

    Note

    This example tests the PowerShell (Default Web Site) virtual directory on the specified server. The switch -TrustAnySSLCertificate is used to skip the certificate check during connection.

    Tip

    This cmdlet uses the same user account created when you ran the script New-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 previously. 

    PS C:\Users\Administrator>
Test-OutlookWebServices
-Identity:Maureen@romacsign.com

    		Tests for a connection to each service (note that quite a few are tested). It also submits a request to the Availability service for the specified user to determine whether the user’s free/busy information is being returned correctly from the Client Access Server to the Outlook client.
