Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
AllowUnsecureAccess |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter enables the Test-WebServicesConnectivity cmdlet to continue to run over an unsecured channel that does not require Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). |
|
ClientAccessServer |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ServerIdParameter |
This parameter specifies the Client Access server to use when the Test-WebServicesConnectivity cmdlet is run. |
|
Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter causes the command to pause processing and requires that you acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You do not have to specify a value with the Confirm parameter. |
|
DomainController |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller to use to write this configuration change to the Active Directory directory service. Use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that you want to use. |
|
LightMode |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter is not implemented for the Test-PopConnectivity diagnostic cmdlet. Using this parameter does not change the behavior of the cmdlet. Note This cmdlet is implemented for other Exchange 2007 diagnostic cmdlets. Specifically, it is used when you want to run a less intensive version of a cmdlet. |
|
MailboxCredential |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.PSCredential |
This parameter specifies the mailbox to use when the Test-WebServicesConnectivity cmdlet is run. |
|
MailboxServer |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ServerIdParameter |
This parameter specifies the identity of the Exchange 2007 Mailbox server on which the test will be run. |
|
MonitoringContext |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter specifies whether the test result is passed to
Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM). If this parameter is set to
|
|
ResetTestAccountCredentials |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This flag resets the password for the test account that is used to run this cmdlet. The password for the test account is typically reset every 7 days. When this flag is used, a password reset is forced any time that it is needed for security reasons. |
|
Site |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.AdSiteIdParameter |
The Site parameter is used to specify the Active Directory site. |
|
Timeout |
Optional |
System.UInt32 |
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 300 seconds. You must specify a time-out value greater than 0 seconds. We recommend that you always configure this parameter with a value of 5 seconds or more. |
|
TrustAnySSLCertificate |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter allows the test to use any SSL certificate that is available. |
|
UseAutodiscoverForClientAccessServer |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter specifies whether the test should use the Autodiscover service to locate the Client Access server. |
|
WhatIf |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
This parameter instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf parameter, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You do not have to specify a value with the WhatIf parameter. |
Detailed Description
The Test-WebServicesConnectivity cmdlet lets you test the functionality of Exchange Web Services. If the test fails, a message is displayed in the Exchange Management Shell.
To run the Test-WebServicesConnectivity cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server.
For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange 2007, see Permission Considerations.
