Testing and troubleshooting with the UM Troubleshooting Tool in Exchange Server
Applies to: Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016
The Microsoft Exchange 2010 UM Troubleshooting Tool is an Exchange Management Shell cmdlet named Test-ExchangeUMCallFlow. You can use the cmdlet to diagnose configuration errors specific to call answering scenarios and to test whether voice mail is functioning correctly in both on-premises and cross-premises Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later UM deployments. You can use this cmdlet in deployments with Microsoft Office Microsoft Lync Server 2010 or later or in UM deployments with Vo IP gateways, IP PBXs or session border controllers (SBCs).
Overview
This cmdlet emulates calls and runs a series of diagnostic tests that help on-premises administrators to identify configuration errors in telephony equipment, Exchange 2010 SP1 or later Unified Messaging settings, and connectivity issues between on-premises and cross-premises deployments of Exchange 2010 SP1 or later Unified Messaging.
When you run the cmdlet, it states the reason and possible solutions for issues that have been detected. It also outputs general audio quality metrics for diagnosing audio quality issues related to network connectivity, such as jitter and average packet loss. The Test-ExchangeUMCallFlow cmdlet supports testing UM components in Secured, SIP Secured, and Unsecured calls, and it can be run either in Gateway or SIPClient modes.
By default, when you're running the UM Troubleshooting Tool, it uses the credentials that are used when you log on to the computer. The credentials used are those that are specified for the calling party. You must set or specify the credentials to be used when you're running the UM Troubleshooting Tool in SIPClient mode. However, you don't need to set the credentials when running the UM Troubleshooting Tool in Gateway mode. If you will be using the UM Troubleshooting Tool in SIPClient mode, several other Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Lync Server requirements and prerequisites must be met. For more information, see Checklist: Deploy Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging or Checklist: Integrate Exchange 2013 UM with Lync Server.
