determine Exchange 2013 role via a cmdlet

Question

Is it possible to get the role (mailbox, CAS,...) configured in Exchange 2013 with a cmdlet for example ? If no , is there any other way (other than asking the admin) ? Thx.

Answer 1

Try get-ExchangeServer

For example, Get-ExchangeServer e2013-mbox1.example.com returns the details of the server named e2013-mbox1.example.com. Just running the command itself without any arguments will dump info on all servers in the organisation.

You can use the usual | ft or | fl to play with the output, or to search for servers holding a particular role, something like:

get-exchangeserver | where {$psitem.serverrole -eq "ClientAccess"}
