Detailed Description

The Export-ActiveSyncLog cmdlet parses the IIS log files and returns information about Exchange ActiveSync usage. This cmdlet can export the output to a file or display it in the Exchange Management Shell.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Exchange ActiveSync server settings" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Filename	Required	System.String	The Filename parameter specifies the name of the input file.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.
EndDate	Optional	System.DateTime	The EndDate parameter specifies the end date of the date range of the report.
Force	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Force parameter suppresses the warning or confirmation messages that appear during specific configuration changes.
OutputPath	Optional	System.String	The OutputPath parameter specifies the name and location for the output file.
OutputPrefix	Optional	System.String	The OutputPrefix parameter specifies a prefix to append to the name of the output file.
StartDate	Optional	System.DateTime	The StartDate parameter specifies the start date of the date range for the report.
UseGMT	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The UseGMT parameter specifies that Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time) is used for the time in the report output. By default, if this parameter isn't specified, local time is used.
WhatIf	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
