Default Parameters for XChgMailFlowTest

This test checks whether mail can be successfully sent from and delivered to the system mailbox on a computer that has the Mailbox server role installed. This test is also used to verify whether the e-mail is sent between Mailbox servers within a defined latency threshold.

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

  • 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.

  • This test sends mails to a configured mail ID to check whether the mails are successfully delivered to that ID. Specify the target email address in the TARGETEMAILADDRESS text box.

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.
