Exchange 2013 - Health & Performance

For those of you responsible for administering and troubleshooting an Exchange 2013 environment, this is the post for you!

Exchange 2013 Health Check Script
We've recently published a PowerShell script on the TechNet gallery that makes checking for common configuration issues easy. The script reports Hardware/Processor information, NIC settings, Power plan, Pagefile settings, .NET Framework version, and some other items. It also has a Client Access load balancing check (current connections per server) and a Mailbox Report (active/passive database and mailbox total per server). It can be executed remotely and can run against all servers in the Organization at once, to save the trouble of having to check all of these settings individually on each server. The TechNet gallery posting contains more details on the script as well as some common usage syntax.


Experfwiz (Exchange Performance Data Collection tool)
ExPerfWiz is a PowerShell based script to help automate the collection of performance data on Exchange 2007, 2010 and 2013 servers.  Supported operating systems are Windows 2003, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2.

Log Parser Studio - LPS
LPS contains several built in queries to help you easily analyze traffic for the various protocols used by Exchange. You can use it to get a view of the most ActiveSync hits per day by device, EWS requests by client type, RPC Client Access MAPI client version by percentage, and many others. The built in queries are great for just about anything you'd need to find out.
