Use this test to make sure that MRS is running and that it responds to a remote procedure call (RPC) ping check.

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

• 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.

• 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.
