Running Server Diagnostics (Command Line)

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 will reach end of support on January 9, 2018. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

The LCSCmd.exe command provides the Diag action to check the health and status of servers within an Office Communications Server environment.

Here is a sample syntax to run the Diag action.

Such as:

LCSCmd.exe /Server /Role:EE /Action:Diag /diagnosticlevel
