The Client Access server role (CAS) is essential for connectivity to and availability of your mailbox servers. You, as an IT admin, need to monitor client access connectivity to avoid potential problems for your end users.
You can check connectivity by configuring an Exchange test mailbox and running PowerShell scripts that test the connection status. Exchange Reporter Plus eliminates all the hassle scripting causes by running these tests by itself on a system generated test user mailbox-extest <GUID>.
This granular monitoring tool checks the connectivity between the Exchange Server and other components or protocols within your Exchange environment and provides the following reports:
Report on and audit Exchange Online using Exchange Reporter Plus.
View the connection status of all ActiveSync devices, including any errors that may occur when users attempt to contact their mailboxes from mobile devices and details such as performance counter name, scenario description, latency in seconds, and the time the test was carried out.
View the connection status of Outlook Web App's virtual directories on any Client Access server in Exchange 2010 environments. This report shows whether the attempted OWA connection was a success or a failure and includes additional information such as performance counter name, URL, URL type (external or internal), latency, virtual directory name, and authentication method.
