Test-EcpConnectivity

This cmdlet is available only in on-premises Exchange.

Use the Test-EcpConnectivity cmdlet to test connectivity to Exchange Control Panel (ECP) virtual directories.

Note: This cmdlet works best in Exchange 2010. In later versions of Exchange, the functionality of this cmdlet has been replaced by Managed Availability. For the best results, use the Invoke-MonitoringProbe cmdlet and specify the relevant active monitor probe instead of using this cmdlet.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Description

The Test-EcpConnectivity cmdlet tests EAC connectivity by connecting to a specified EAC virtual directory, to any EAC virtual directories on a specified Exchange server, or to any EAC virtual directories that are available in the local Active Directory site.

The first time you use this cmdlet, you might be required to create a test user. To create a test user, run the following command:

& $env:ExchangeInstallPath\Scripts\New-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1

The test results are displayed on-screen. The cmdlet returns the following information.

  • CasServer: The Exchange server that the client connected to.
  • LocalSite: The name of the local Active Directory site.
  • Scenario: The operations that are tested. Values are: Logon and Sign in.
  • Result: The values returned are typically Success, Skipped or Failure.
  • Latency(MS): The time required to complete the test in milliseconds.
  • Error: Any error messages that were encountered.

You can write the results to a file by piping the output to ConvertTo-Html and Set-Content. For example: Test-EcpConnectivity -ClientAccessServer MBX01 | ConvertTo-Html | Set-Content -Path "C:\My Documents\EAC Test.html".

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Test-EcpConnectivity -ClientAccessServer Server01

This example tests user connectivity to the Exchange admin center on Server01.

Parameters

-ClientAccessServer

The ClientAccessServer parameter specifies the Exchange server to test. This server has the Client Access server role installed and is responsible for accepting client connections.

You can use any value that uniquely identifies the server. For example:

  • Name
  • Distinguished name (DN)
  • ExchangeLegacyDN
  • GUID
Type:ServerIdParameter
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-DomainController

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

Type:Fqdn
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-LightMode

This parameter isn't implemented for this diagnostic command. Using this parameter doesn't change the behavior of this command.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-MailboxServer

The MailboxServer parameter specifies the Exchange Mailbox server that you want to test. This parameter identifies the backend server that accepts proxied connections from the frontend server where clients connect.

You can use any value that uniquely identifies the server. For example:

  • Name
  • Distinguished name (DN)
  • ExchangeLegacyDN
  • GUID

If you don't use this parameter, connections to all Mailbox servers in the local Active Directory site are tested.

Type:ServerIdParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-MonitoringContext

The MonitoringContext switch includes the associated monitoring events and performance counters in the results. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

Typically, you include the monitoring events and performance counters in the results when the output is passed to Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM).

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-ResetTestAccountCredentials

The ResetTestAccountCredentials switch resets the password for the test account that's used to run this command. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

The password for the test account is typically reset every seven days. Use this switch to force a password reset any time it's required for security reasons.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-TestType

The TestType parameter specifies whether the command tests internal or external URLs. Values are Internal and External. The default value is Internal.

Type:OwaConnectivityTestType
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-Timeout

The Timeout parameter specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the test operation to finish. The default value for the Timeout parameter is 30 seconds. You must specify a time-out value greater than 0 seconds and less than 1 hour (3,600 seconds). We recommend that you always configure this parameter with a value of 5 seconds or more.

Type:UInt32

-TrustAnySSLCertificate

The TrustAnySSLCertificate switch allows Exchange to accept certificates from untrusted certification authorities (CAs). You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

This switch is useful for testing internal URLs, because a URL that has an associated certificate is typically an external URL. This switch lets the task check an internal URL without generating an error when the certificate doesn't match the URL.

Type:SwitchParameter
