Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1

PowerShell script to generate a report of the health of an Exchange Server 2010/2013 environment.

Performs a series of health checks on Exchange servers and DAGs and outputs the results to screen, and optionally to log file, HTML report, and HTML email.

Usage

Create an ignorelist.txt file in the same folder as the script to specify any servers, DAGs, or databases you want the script to ignore (eg test/dev servers).

Modify the SMTP settings in the script to send emails to your own address:

#...................................
# Modify these Email Settings
#...................................

$smtpsettings = @{
	To =  "[email protected]"
	From = "[email protected]"
	Subject = "$reportemailsubject - $now"
	SmtpServer = "smtp.exchangeserverpro.net"
	}

Parameters

• -Server, Perform a health check of a single server
• -ReportMode, Set to $true to generate a HTML report. A default file name is used if none is specified.
• -ReportFile, Allows you to specify a different HTML report file name than the default.
• -SendEmail, Sends the HTML report via email using the SMTP configuration within the script.
• -AlertsOnly, Only sends the email report if at least one error or warning was detected.
• -Log, Writes a log file to help with troubleshooting.

.\Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1 -Server HO-EX2010-MB1
