Troubleshooting Edge Synchronization
This section discusses the single Edge test cmdlet:
Test-EdgeSynchronization
The
Test - EdgeSynchronization cmdlet tests synchronization of Edge servers. Edge servers use an
ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) instance instead of connecting to AD directly. Edge servers
are not in the domain, so any information that is needed for messaging or recipients, connectors, and
anti - spam is stored in ADAM. The ADAM instance periodically updates its cache against AD to prevent
stale data and to improve response time. This cmdlet needs to be run against a server that has the Hub
role installed.
The following is a list of parameters available for this cmdlet:
DomainController : Sets the DC to query.
ExcludeRecipientTest : Boolean value that if set to true ignores the recipient objects and
queries only the configuration objects for validity.

Figure 14 - 13 shows the results for the
foreach script. If the $mbxname.name is omitted, the test results
will not map an index search response time to a server, and this can become messy in larger
environments.
