- 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.

Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ClientAccessServerIdParameter |
The AutoDiscoverServer parameter specifies the server to use to test Autodiscover connectivity. |
|
MonitoringContext |
Required |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
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 2007 or System Center 2012 - Operations Manager. |

Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ClientAccessServerIdParameter |
The ClientAccessServer parameter specifies the Client Access server that the client accesses. |
|
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. |
|
Identity |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxIdParameter |
The Identity parameter specifies any valid email address in the forest. If you specify this parameter, incorrectly formed email 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. |

MailboxCredential |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.PSCredential |
The MailboxCredential parameter specifies the mailbox credential to use for the test. |
