The Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) collects anonymous information about how you use Exchange and the problems that you encounter. Microsoft uses this information to improve the products and features you use most often and to help solve problems. Participation in the program is strictly voluntary, and the end results are software improvements to better meet your needs. For more information about Microsoft's CEIP, see Microsoft Customer Experience Program FAQ. For more information about how to opt-in to or opt-out of the program, see Opt-in or Opt-out of the Customer Experience Improvement Program.

The Organizational Health report lets you increase your productivity by giving you a quick view of your organization and its operating characteristics. The service provides an organizational summary. This includes health and licensing information, and also a summary of the Exchange servers and recipients.

Important:
This report is for information only. In addition, this information may not be accurate because of errors incurred while collecting the information.

Exchange doesn't automatically gather the organizational information. You must use the Collect Organizational Health Data wizard to view a summary of your organization's health. For more information, see Collect Organizational Health Data.

• The Customer Feedback Options section on this tab allows you to run the Customer Experience Improvement Program wizard, which allows you to opt-in or out of CEIP. For more information, see Opt-in or Opt-out of the Customer Experience Improvement Program.
  
• The Help and Feedback section on this tab provides you with a links to the Exchange pages hosted on Microsoft TechNet and allows you to submit feedback or to report bugs directly to the Exchange team.
  

The Exchange Management Shell Command Log records the commands that you execute in the EMC. For example, if you view the list of recipients in the mailbox node, the Get-Recipient cmdlet is executed and the Exchange Management Shell Command Log will record that action.

Note:
The command log does not save the logging information. Once, the EMC is closed, the log is erased. However, you can export the command log to tab delimited or comma delimited files.

To view the command log, click View in the Exchange Management Console menu bar, and then click View Windows PowerShell Command Log…

For more information about command logging, see Using the Exchange Management Shell Command Log to Track Tasks Performed in the EMC.

Exposing command lines executed behind property dialogs allows you to see the Windows PowerShell command and the parameters required to change object properties. To view the command, click on the down arrows located on the bottom left corner of the property dialog box. To copy the command, highlight the command and press CTRL+C.

Note:
The command viewer can only be viewed after a change has been made to a property.

When you open the EMC, Exchange checks to see what RBAC permissions you have. You will only be able to view or configure features and items that they have permission to view or configure. If an administrator has permission to view something, but not edit it, the field text will be grayed-out and a caution icon will display. For more information about RBAC, see .Understanding Role Based Access Control.
