Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange ActiveSync offer a wide variety of features for both users and administrators. As an administrator, it is important that you know the volume and usage patterns of your deployment. This information can help you effectively manage your Exchange ActiveSync deployment, better understand user productivity, and plan for future needs. Reporting in Exchange ActiveSync for Exchange Server 2007 is a Windows PowerShell task that compiles a set of Internet Information Services (IIS) logs and processes to create a series of output files. Each file is a separate report that can help you understand your Exchange ActiveSync deployment. This topic provides an overview of the cmdlet you can use to generate these reports and information about the content of these reports.

Generating Exchange ActiveSync Reports

You can generate Exchange ActiveSync reports by using the Export-ActiveSyncLog cmdlet. This cmdlet lets you specify a variety of input parameters. These parameters include the location of the IIS log files, the start dates and the end dates for the reports, and the output path for the reports. To run this cmdlet, you must be delegated the permissions associated with the Exchange Server Administrator or Exchange Organization Administrator role. You must also have read access to the directory where the IIS logs are located. For more information about the syntax of the Export-ActiveSyncLog cmdlet, see Export-ActiveSyncLog.

Available Exchange ActiveSync Reports

There are a variety of Exchange ActiveSync reports available. These reports include the following:

Exchange ActiveSync Usage Report This report includes a variety of monitored parameters. These include the total bytes that have been sent and received in addition to a count of each type of item that was sent and received. Item types are e-mail messages, calendar items, contact items, and task items.
Hits Report This report lets you see the total number of synchronization requests that are processed per hour, in addition to the total number of unique devices that are initiating synchronization requests.
HTTP Status Report This report provides a general overview of the performance of the Client Access server. It includes a summary of the various error response codes and the percentage of the time each code was encountered.
Policy Compliance Report This report provides information about the number of fully compliant, partially compliant, and noncompliant devices. A fully compliant device is one that has accepted the Exchange ActiveSync policy and can implement all aspects of the policy. A partially compliant device is one that has accepted the policy, but has a mobile device operating system that is unable to enforce all aspects of the policy. A noncompliant device is either unable to accept the policy or has rejected the policy.
User Agent List This report returns the total number of unique users, organized by mobile device operating system.
