I have just uploaded the new Exchange Monitor version 2.1. The new version contains various bugfixes that have been reported by users. Many thanks at this point to everyone who reported problems. Version 2.1 of the Exchange Monitor now loads the Exchange snapins from the normal PowerShell. This should avoid problems with the task. Also new is a setting in the settings.ini:
If "OnlyCheckIfSMTPPortOpen" is set to "Yes", the system only checks whether port 25 is open on the additional SMTP servers; it no longer checks whether a mail can actually be sent. SPAM filters are often set so that only mail from the Exchange servers is accepted, so the test from another computer fails.
The test mail function has also been slightly improved so that fewer problems should occur during the tests.
At the request of several users, the status of the databases and any copies of them are now also displayed. However, I must admit that this test can still be improved.
I also currently lack test environments, which is why I have marked this version as a beta. If you are using version 2.0, you can back up the current directory and then copy the new version into the existing directory. The Settings.ini must then be adapted accordingly.
It would be nice if we could get as much feedback as possible to further improve the version. Feature requests are also welcome (please send them by e-mail). I plan to put the final version online in about 1 month.
Here is the BETA version:
