Exchange 2010 Reports

Recently I have been running a number of reports consistently for an overall view of the Exchange environment.

These are my top 4 favorite reports which are all available for download on Microsofts tech net:


E2K10_Architecture_GUI_V2.02.ps1
Get-ExchangeEnvironmentReport.ps1
Get-PublicFolderReplicationReport.ps1
Active Directory topology Diagrammer - ADTD.net setup.msi

1.    Exchange Architecture Report

·       Run this from an Exchange server with administrator level permissions. The script will produce an HTML report.
·       Open Powershell for Exchange, run the powershell script below:
·       .\E2K10_Architecture_GUI_V2.02.ps1
·       This needs the Exchange extest account to run completely. This can be created by running New-TestCASConnectivityUser.ps1 from $exscripts.
·       This runs a GUI. Check “Select All” 
·       Number of jobs, select 2-6. Selecting a lower number will run slower but it will less likely impact performance this way.
·       Click Execute.
