Re: Exchange 2007 Test-EdgeSynchronization

[Anders Bengtsson [MVP]]

Hi .Jason.,

Use the Test-EdgeSynchronization cmdlet to diagnose whether the subscribed
Edge Transport servers have a current and accurate synchronization status.
If you dont have a edge server you might need to disable this check. But
hten you can simple enable it again if you install a Edge server in the future.

I might need to disable this check? Is anyone running the Exchange 2007
Management Pack version 08.01.0021.001 without edge servers? If it comes to
it, I will disable the checks. I just know when we add one, no one will
remember to reenable the check. If i run the test myself, it returns
nothing. No subscriptions, but no errors either. Thanks for the reply.

Right! I'm getting the same thing. If I run the exact same command that
SCOM runs in PowerShell on the Exchange Server it runs fine.
Test-EdgeSynchronization -MonitoringContext:$true

...however, I get the exact same result as Jason does.

Here is my output from PowerShell:

I am using System Center Operations Manager 2007 with Service Pack 1,
Exchange Server 2007 with Service Pack 1 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007.

This is what I get:

If I run Test-EdgeSynchronization with the same parameters manually on any
of the 2 CAS servers, everything works perfectly:

As you can see, there are 2 servers with the CAS and HUB transport role
(cas01 and cas02) and 2 with the EDGE transport role (edge01 and edge02).

Any ideas?

I installed SP1 for SCOM 2007 and I still recieve the same result.

What am I missing here? Does this Monitor need to use another action
account other than system? I think it is strange that SCOM says: Invalid

procedure call or argument The MSExchangeMonitoring service do not support
scripts and only a limited set of Exchange cmdlets (test-*) and parameters.

Is the syntax wrong in the monitor?
