How to perform an Exchange server mailbox health check

Emails are still one of the most used forms of communication of data, and Microsoft Exchange is a widely used email platform for various organizations around the world. Information is commonly passed to various email servers, mailboxes and databases, so ensuring the health of the Microsoft Exchange system should be a high priority task for any organization. This is where Exchange health mailboxes, also known as monitoring mailboxes, come in.

An Exchange health mailbox ensures the health of your Exchange organization's mailboxes. Your Exchange Server uses multiple Exchange health mailboxes to monitor its own health. Various tests and probes are conducted on these health mailboxes to check if there are any errors. These Exchange health mailboxes are checked for errors using PowerShell cmdlets. If any errors show up, each of the Exchange health mailboxes should be reset before the issue spreads to the user mailboxes. It is essential to keep an eye on the various Exchange health mailbox user accounts in your Exchange server.
