Description

The Test-CsAVEdgeConnectivity cmdlet verifies that a user can connect to the AV Edge Server assigned to a Registrar pool.

Skype for Business Server Control Panel: The functions carried out by the Test-CsAVEdgeConnectivity cmdlet are not available in the Skype for Business Server Control Panel.

Examples

-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------

Test-CsAVEdgeConnectivity -TargetFqdn "atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com"

The command shown in Example 1 verifies that a preconfigured test user can connect to the A/V Edge server configured for the pool atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com Note that this command will fail if you have not defined at least one health monitoring test user for atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com.

-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------

$cred = Get-Credential "litwareinc\kenmyer"

Test-CsAVEdgeConnectivity -TargetFqdn "atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com" -UserSipAddress "sip:kenmyer@litwareinc.com" -UserCredential $cred

In Example 2, the Test-CsAVEdgeConnectivity cmdlet verifies that the user with the SIP address sip:kenmyer@litwareinc.com is able to connect to the AV Edge server. To do this, the first command in the example uses the Get-Credential cmdlet to retrieve a Windows PowerShell credentials object for the user litwareinc\kenmyer; note that you supply the password for this account when obtaining this object. After the credentials object has been obtained, the second command uses the Test-CsAVEdgeConnectivity cmdlet to verify that the user can connect to the AV Edge server.

Parameters

-Authentication

Type of authentication used in the test. Allowed values are:

  • TrustedServer
  • Negotiate
  • ClientCertificate
  • LiveID
Type:AuthenticationMechanism

-AVEdgeAddress

IP address of the Edge server being tested. Specifying the IP address enables you to test the internal side of the Edge server; in turn, this allows you to verify the connection between the test client and the internal Edge server. Note that the internal side often has multiple IP addresses.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019

-AVEdgeTCPPort

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) of the Edge server being tested.

The default value is 443.

Type:UInt16

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Skype for Business Server 2015, Skype for Business Server 2019

-AVEdgeUDPPort

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port of the Edge server being tested.

The default value is 3478.

Type:UInt16
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False

-OutLoggerVariable

When present, detailed output from running the cmdlet will be stored in the specified variable. This variable includes a pair of methods - ToHTML and ToXML - that can then be used to save that output to either an HTML or an XML file.

To store output in a logger variable named $TestOutput use the following syntax:

-OutLoggerVariable TestOutput

Note: Do not use prepend a $ character when specifying the variable name. To save the information stored in the logger variable to an HTML file, use a command similar to this:

$TestOutput.ToHTML() \> C:\Logs\TestOutput.html

To save the information stored in the logger variable to an XML file, use a command similar to this:

$TestOutput.ToXML() \> C:\Logs\TestOutput.xml
