Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |

Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ClientAccessServerIdParameter |
The ClientAccessServer parameter specifies the Client Access server that the client accesses. |
|
Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that retrieves data from Active Directory. |
|
Identity |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter |
The Identity parameter specifies any valid e-mail address in the forest. If you specify this parameter, incorrectly formed e-mail addresses and addresses that are outside the forest are rejected. This address is used to test the Outlook provider. This property accepts the domain and user name in the domain\user name format or an Active Directory GUID and resolves them to the SMTP address that's needed to authenticate. |

EXAMPLE 1
This example verifies the service information that's returned to the Outlook client from the Autodiscover service for the user holly@contoso.com. The code example verifies information for the following services:
- Availability service
- Outlook Anywhere
- Offline address book
- Unified Messaging
This example tests for a connection to each service. This example also submits a request to the Availability service for the user holly@contoso.com to determine whether the user's free/busy information is being returned correctly from the Client Access server to the Outlook client.
