Default Parameters for XChgOwaConnTest

This test verifies that the Microsoft Office Outlook web app is running as expected. This test can be used to test Outlook Web App connectivity for all Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 virtual directories on a specified Client Access server for all mailboxes on servers running Exchange that are in the same Active Directory site.

This test is also used to test the connectivity for an individual Exchange Outlook Web App URL.

To execute this test, you need to setup a test account in the exchange forest and you need to run the script which is available in the following location <exchange_home>\scripts\ new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 .

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

  • 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

  • Specify the complete qualified hostname of the client access server in the CLIENT ACCESS SERVER text box.

  • Specify the website URL in the OUTLOOK WEB APP URL. By Default none will be provided.

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.
