Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity
Test connectivity to Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync virtual directories. **Note**: This cmdlet works best in Exchange 2010. In later versions of Exchange, the functionality of this cmdlet is replaced by Managed Availability. For the best results, use the Invoke-MonitoringProbe cmdlet and specify the relevant active monitor probe instead of using this cmdlet.

[<CommonParameters>]Parameters (15)
| Parameter | Type | Required | What it controls |
|---|---|---|---|
| -ClientAccessServer | ServerIdParameter | The ClientAccessServer parameter specifies the Exchange server to test. This server has the Client Access server role installed and is responsible for accepting client connections. | |
| -URL | String | The URL parameter specifies the URL that's used to connect to the Exchange ActiveSync virtual directory. | |
| -AllowUnsecureAccess | SwitchParameter | The AllowUnsecureAccess switch allows the test to continue over an unsecured channel that doesn't require Transport Layer Security (TLS). You don't need to specify a value with this switch. | |
| -Confirm | SwitchParameter | The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on whether the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding. | |

| -LightMode | SwitchParameter | The LightMode switch tells the command to perform only a subset of the tests. You don't need to specify a value with this switch. | |
| -MailboxCredential | PSCredential | The MailboxCredential parameter specifies the mailbox credential to use for a single mailbox test. | |
| -MailboxServer | ServerIdParameter | The MailboxServer parameter specifies the Exchange Mailbox server that you want to test. This parameter identifies the backend server that accepts proxied connections from the frontend server where clients connect. | |
| -MonitoringContext | SwitchParameter | The MonitoringContext switch includes the associated monitoring events and performance counters in the results. You don't need to specify a value with this switch. | |
| -MonitoringInstance | String | The MonitoringInstance parameter specifies an identifier for this task when the test is run from Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). This parameter is important because SCOM might run multiple... | |
| -ResetTestAccountCredentials | SwitchParameter | The ResetTestAccountCredentials switch resets the password for the test account that's used to run this command. You don't need to specify a value with this switch. | |
| -Timeout | UInt32 | The Timeout parameter specifies the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for a response from the command. | |
| -TrustAnySSLCertificate | SwitchParameter | The TrustAnySSLCertificate switch allows Exchange to accept certificates from untrusted certification authorities (CAs). You don't need to specify a value with this switch. | |
| -UseAutodiscoverForClientAccessServer | SwitchParameter | The UseAutodiscoverForClientAccessServer switch specifies whether the test should use the Autodiscover service to locate the Exchange ActiveSync virtual directory. You don't need to specify a value with this switch. | |
| -WhatIf | SwitchParameter | The WhatIf switch shows what the command does without making any changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch. |
