I’m pleased to announce the availability of v1.10 of the Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1 script.

This version of the script contains one minor bug fix for testing DAG member replication health in mixed Exchange 2010/2013 organizations.

I am also announcing that development of a new V2.0 of Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1 is under way. Planned features include:

  • Support for Exchange Server 2013 only (the V1.x script will still be available for Exchange 2010 environments)
  • Complete review and overhaul of code (some of it is close to 4 years old now, and was written in Exchange 2007/PowerShell 1.0 era)
  • A more user-friendly configuration and customization method (as demonstrated here)
  • Use of Managed Availability cmdlets (as discussed here)
  • More report items that people have been asking for (where possible)

As always I want to thank everyone who has downloaded the script (literally tens of thousands of you), used it, reported bugs, requested features, or just given general feedback over the years.

If you have anything you’d like to see added or improved in the V2.0 script please feel free to leave a comment below.

    Hi Paul, I need to unify Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1 with the Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1 because I need to send a single email report. Could you help with this?

    Hi Paul,

    The script is very much help full.
    I have one concern, regarding Hub server services, since we don’t edge server configured in our environment. I would like to ignore one particular required hub service “MSExchangeEdgeSync”.
    Reason of this i am getting “Hub Transport Server Role required services not running.” error on the report.

    Any suggestion on this

    a great tool, thanks Paul.
    a quick question, has anyone been able to refine the syntax using the task scheduler to pass the “htmlreport” parameter? thanks.
