Parameter

How to Set It

General Settings

Communicate only with Exchange Servers in the local domain?

Select Yes to test only Exchange Servers in the same domain as the server on which you run the CAS_PublicFolderAvailability job.

When this option is unselected, certain tests for the Client Access server attempt to contact all Mailbox servers in your organization. These tests will fail if the Exchange accounts in one domain do not have access to other domains.

Leave this option unselected if you specify a Mailbox server in the Mailbox server hosting public folders to be accessed parameter.

Ignore these Mailbox servers when testing CAS to MBS communications

Provide a comma-separated list of the hostnames of the Mailbox servers that you want to exclude from availability testing between the Client Access server and the Mailbox server.

Leave this option blank if you specify a Mailbox server in the Mailbox server hosting public folders to be accessed parameter.

Mailbox server hosting public folders to be accessed

By default, the CAS_PublicFolderAvailability job tests connectivity to all Mailbox servers. Use this parameter to enable testing to one Mailbox server.

Enter the hostname of the Mailbox server computer that hosts the public folders you want to monitor. The hostname need not be fully qualified unless DNS lookup does not resolve the simple name.
