Exchange Modern Message Delivery Health Test

The Exchange Modern Message Delivery Health test monitors overall message delivery health for Exchange 2010, Exchange 2013, and Exchange 2016. The test provides information about both internal and external message delivery.

Depending on how you configure the test, it sends a test email to a target email address or tracks the time it takes an email to leave the Exchange organization. By default, the organization exit counters are enabled and the round trip counters are disabled.

The Modern Exchange Message Delivery Health test uses Exchange Web Services (EWS) for internal and external message delivery tests, and also uses the Exchange message tracking logs for internal and external message delivery tests. The prerequisites for the modern message delivery health test are as follows.

Exchange Storage Health Test

The Exchange Storage Health test monitors the overall function of storage subsystems. This test allows you to ensure the following:

•
All of your stores or databases are mounted or healthy
•
There is sufficient disk space on your Exchange system drive
•
There is sufficient disk space for your transaction logs
•
There is sufficient disk space for your mailbox database and public folder

WMI is required to support retrieving accurate disk space information when using mount points. If you do not use mount points, you can disable the requirement for WMI. For information on enabling WMI, see Volumes - Allowing API fallback if WMI fails .

Stores in recovery storage groups have the following special behavior:

•
For Exchange 2010/2013/2016 servers, all the recovery database copies are not monitored.
•
For Exchange 2007 servers, the store status counter is reported, but the error or warning condition is ignored. For example, if the counter is configured to set an alarm when the store is offline, no alarm or notification is generated, and the result for the counter is reported as “Informational”.

Internal Outlook Web Access (OWA) Availability Health Test

The Exchange Internal Outlook Web Access Availability Health test verifies a user can log on to a mailbox through Outlook Web Access (OWA) from inside your organization.

This test does not run on Exchange 2013 or later because the Microsoft Exchange Management Shell does not support OWA Connectivity testing for Exchange 2013 or later. For Exchange 2013 or Exchange 2016, you can use the Exchange System Health test to monitor OWA health.

The Exchange Internal Outlook Web Access Availability Health test monitors all web sites configured within a CAS server. You cannot monitor one web site at a time. This test uses internal server URL names only. It does not test external availability or OWA using your public URL

This test allows you to ensure the following:

•
Mailbox is accessible
•
Mailbox logon latency is within expected threshold

The Exchange Internal Outlook Web Access Availability Health test contains the following counters for all Exchange Servers:

Exchange 2007/2010 considerations

For Exchange 2010 Client Access (CAS) servers, UC Diagnostics attempts to log on to Exchange 2010 mailbox in the same Active Directory site, if one exists.

For Exchange 2007 CAS servers, UC Diagnostics attempts to log on to an Exchange 2007 mailbox if there are Exchange 2007 mailbox servers in the same site. If logon fails or no mailbox servers are found, UC Diagnostics logs on to any Exchange 2007 mailbox server in the organization.

The Internal OWA Health Test for Exchange 2007 requires at least one Exchange 2007 mailbox server within your organization. The Internal OWA Health Test for Exchange 2010 requires at least one Exchange 2010 mailbox server in the same site.

The Internal OWA Health Test for Exchange 2007/2010 does not use specified alternate credentials. Before running this test, use the Exchange PowerShell script called new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 (located in Scripts folder in the Exchange Server installation directory) to create test mailboxes. This test automatically manages the mailboxes credentials while it logs onto the mailboxes. For more information, see Creating a test mailbox for the Internal Mailbox Delivery Health Test .

For Exchange 2007/2010, you must specify a logon method and timeout to signify the maximum amount to time to wait between logon attempts.
