To get exchange health status first open exchange Powershell , run the command :<\/p>\n

Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus * | sort name | Select name,status,contentindexstate<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If all the databases are mounted and the index state is healthy you are in a good state. To fix the index if not healthy :<\/p>\n

Stop-Service MSExchangeFastSearch
\nStop-Service HostControllerService
\n#get the path to the index file folder:
\nGet-MailboxDatabase glilyamDBNew | select EdbFilePath
\n#Delete the folder GuiD, The folder it self, Restarting the services will re-creat it<\/p>\n

Start-Service MSExchangeFastSearch
\nStart-Service HostControllerService<\/p>\n

Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1 script will Perform a series of health checks on the specified Exchange servers
\nand outputs the results to screen, and optionally to log file, HTML report, and HTML email.<\/p>\n

Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1 download:\u00a0 https:\/\/gallery.technet.microsoft.com\/scriptcenter\/Generate-Health-Report-for-19f5fe5f\/file\/133621\/6\/Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1<\/a><\/p>\n

MOre information about implementation :\u00a0 https:\/\/github.com\/cunninghamp\/Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/p>\n

.\\Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1\r\n<\/pre>\n
Checks all servers in the organization and outputs the results to the shell window.<\/p>\n
.\\Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1 -Server Your_Server_Name\r\n<\/pre>\n
Checks the server and outputs the results to the shell window.<\/p>\n
.\\Test-ExchangeServerHealth.ps1 -ReportMode -SendEmail\r\n<\/pre>\n
Checks all servers in the organization, outputs the results to the shell window, a HTML report, and emails the HTML report to the address configured in the script.<\/p>\n
If you use the report mode you\u2019ll get a HTML file containing the health check results, and\/or an email to your designated address if you also use the send email option.<\/p>\n
For the email functionality to work please update these variables in the script to suit your environment.<\/p>\n
#...................................\r\n# Modify these Email Settings\r\n#...................................\r\n\r\n$smtpsettings = @{\r\n\tTo =  \"administrator@exchangeserverpro.net\"\r\n\tFrom = \"exchangeserver@exchangeserverpro.net\"\r\n\tSubject = \"Exchange Server Health Report - $now\"\r\n\tSmtpServer = \"smtp.exchangeserverpro.net\"\r\n\t}<\/pre>\n
A lot of people ask how to add multiple recipients to the SMTP settings. My advice is to use a distribution group, so that any time you need to modify the list of recipients you can simply change the distribution group membership instead of needing to modify the script code.<\/div>\n
When running the script on non-English servers you can modify the following variables in the script to match your language so that the script does not give errors or incorrect results.<\/p>\n
#...................................\r\n# Modify these language \r\n# localization strings.\r\n#...................................\r\n\r\n# The server roles must match the role names you see when you run Test-ServiceHealth.\r\n$casrole = \"Client Access Server Role\"\r\n$htrole = \"Hub Transport Server Role\"\r\n$mbrole = \"Mailbox Server Role\"\r\n$umrole = \"Unified Messaging Server Role\"\r\n\r\n# This should match the word for \"Success\", or the result of a successful Test-MAPIConnectivity test\r\n$success = \"Success\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
For example, a German system would use the following values:<\/p>\n
# The server roles must match the role names you see when you run Test-ServiceHealth.\r\n$casrole = \"Clientzugriffs-Serverrolle\"\r\n$htrole = \"Hub-Transport-Serverrolle\"\r\n$mbrole = \"Postfachserverrolle\"\r\n$umrole = \"Unified Messaging-Serverrolle\"\r\n\r\n# This should match the word for \"Success\", or the result of a successful Test-MAPIConnectivity test\r\n$success = \"Erfolgreich\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
Use the ignorelist.txt<\/strong> file to specify the names of any servers, DAGs, or databases that you want to ignore for the tests.<\/p>\n
