External Outlook Web Access (OWA) Availability Health Test

The External OWA Availability Health test monitors the availability of OWA functionality in your organization through an external URL. This test verifies that the users associated with the alternate credentials can logon to their mailboxes through an external OWA URL. This test uses an external or internal URL. If an external URL is specified, ensure that the DNS server can resolve this URL.

This test is applicable only to organizations with at least one Exchange 2007/ 2010 server. 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.

This test uses mailboxes associated with alternate credentials. You must explicitly choose the alternate credentials on the Test Settings page when you create this test. You cannot configure the test if you have selected the Use Diagnostic Services Credentials option.

•
For an Exchange 2010 mailbox, a PowerShell 2.0 cmdlet is run on each Exchange 2010 CAS server in the organization until the mailbox logon attempt is successful.
•
For an Exchange 2007 mailbox, logons to the mailbox are attempted using a local Exchange 2007 Management Shell cmdlet.

If you would like to test External OWA functionality using both types of mailboxes, you must configure two tests - one using credentials of the user who has 2007 mailbox, and the second using credentials of the user with 2010 mailbox.

This test allows you to ensure the following:

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

Exchange Replication Health Test

The Exchange Replication Health test monitors the health of transaction log replication on your Exchange 2007, Exchange 2010, Exchange 2013, and Exchange 2016 mailbox servers. This test detects whether replication is configured and what type of replication is configured.

For Exchange 2010 and later, there is also information provided about lagged database copies if you have configured the Exchange lagged database copy function.

The Exchange Replication Health test contains the following counters for Exchange 2007:

Exchange System Health Test

The Exchange System Health test monitors the health state for different groups of monitors, called health sets. Monitors that are similar or are related to a component’s architecture are grouped to form a health set. Health sets provide the health information for applications and services such as Outlook Web App, Exchange ActiveSync, the Information Store service, content indexing, and transport services on your Exchange 2013 Client Access Servers (CAS) and mailbox servers and on your Exchange 2016 mailbox servers.

If all a health set’s monitors are healthy, the health set is in a healthy state. If any monitor is not in a healthy state, the health set state is determined by its least healthy monitor.

This test is available only for Exchange 2013 and later.

The health sets are organized into four main health groups:

•
Customer Touch Points
•
Service Components
•
Server Components
•
Dependency Availability
Customer Touch Points health group

The Customer Touch Points health group is comprised of monitors for components that affect real-time user interactions such as protocols or the Information Store. The test shows the condition of healthy or unhealthy for each of the following health set counters:

Active Directory Account Lockout Health Test

The Active Directory Account Lockout Health test provides information about how many and which Active Directory accounts are currently locked out. The test shows accounts that are locked out due to invalid passwords being submitted and accounts that are locked because the password has expired. The test detects the domain accounts that are currently locked out and provides information about the lockout event.

You run the test against a domain to which an Exchange organization or a Lync/Skype for Business environment belongs. You cannot run the test against the individual servers.

* 
NOTE: Information about locked-out accounts is available only for the first 1000 accounts.

The Active Directory Account Lockout Health test contains the following counters:
