#1 \u2013 Get-ExchangeServerAccessLicense<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This command applies to Exchange server 2016 on-premises and returns a list of licenses in your Exchange organization.<\/p>\n

If you run the following command:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Get-ExchangeServerAccessLicense<\/pre>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
You will receive an output which will look like this:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
By piping it to the Format-List cmdlet, you also will be able to see UnitLabel and RunspaceID:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Get-ExchangeServerAccessLicense | fl<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I guess\u00a0 you will not be using this command daily, but if you have to make an audit in a new customer\u2019s Exchange environment, it shows you straight away, how many and which Exchange servers are in use.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
#2 \u2013 Get-HealthReport<\/h2>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This command is also only available in on-premise Exchange environments.<\/p>\n
On Microsoft Technet, there are many amazing scripts for reporting and\/or health checks. However, sometimes these scripts are not needed, or you want to build a script on your own for health reporting for Exchange.<\/p>\n
For that PowerShell has a simple command, which is called:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Get-HealthReport<\/pre>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whith this command we are able to check a few things\u2026 As an example, if we run:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Get-HealthReport \u2013Identity EXC-SRV01 \u2013RollupGroup<\/pre>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We receive the following answer:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
The list is even longer, but this is enough to understand for what we can use this command. It shows us the state of services and includes the transition time.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The following list contains the health values that are returned:<\/p>\n
