Test the Connection to Exchange 2010

This procedure is for the CA IdentityMinder administrator.

Follow these steps:

1. Test HTTP Basic and Kerberos authentication:
   1. On the CCS computer, open a Windows PowerShell ISE window.
   2. Enter the following command to open the User Credentials dialog:

      $UserCredential = Get-Credential
      

   3. Enter your credentials. For example, "EXCHANGE2010\Administrator" and password.
   4. (HTTP Basic only) Use the following command to tell PowerShell to skip the certificate revocation check:

      $so = New-PSSessionOption -skiprevocationcheck
      

   5. Create a new remote PowerShell session on the remote Exchange server

      With HTTP Basic authentication:

      $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://{Exchange Server Name}/PowerShell/ -Authentication Basic -Credential $UserCredential -SessionOption $so
      

      With Kerberos authentication:

      $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://{Exchange Server name}/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $UserCredential
      

   If you see no error report, the connection was successful and authentication is working.

You can now acquire the Active Directory endpoint and select an Exchange 2010 mailbox server as the Exchange gateway server.
