Manual validation commands by monitoring check

When an ENow monitoring check reports a warning or error, you can often confirm the result by hand from the monitored server. The table below pairs each check with the command that validates it.

Before you start

• Run Exchange commands from the Exchange Management Shell on the monitored server, not a plain PowerShell window.
• Run these under an account with the same rights as the ENow monitoring service account, or the result will not match what ENow sees.
• Replace anything in <angle brackets> with your own value.
• A command succeeding by hand while ENow still reports a failure usually points at the service account's permissions rather than the service itself.

Validation commands

Notes on individual checks

• AD Replication Status — run this from a command prompt opened as administrator, not the Exchange Management Shell. The command writes its results to showrepl.csv; open that file in Excel to read them.
• Active Directory Status and DNS Status use the same Test-Connection cmdlet, targeting an IP address and a server name respectively.
