This test periodically checks ActiveSync connectivity at every stage of the synchronization - e.g., the Logon stage, the FolderSync stage, the Options stage, etc. - reports issues and latencies (if any) in connectivity, and leads you to the exact stage at which the failure/slowdown occurred.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the ExcActSyncConTest

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• The Exchange Management Shell is a command-line management interface, built on Windows PowerShell v2, which enables you to administer every part of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010. This test uses the Exchange management shell to run scripts and collect the desired performance metrics from the Exchange server. To enable the test to load the Exchange management shell snap-in (exshell.psc1) for script execution, you need to specify the full path to the Exchange management shell in the XCHGEXTENSIONSHELLPATH text box. For instance, your specification can be, c:\progra~1\micros~1\exchan~1\v14\bin\exshell.psc1.

• In the CLIENT ACCESS SERVER text box, specify the fully-qualified domain name of the Client Access Server.

• Once the necessary values have been entered, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
