Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 are rich with cmdlets providing you access to information regarding your Exchange environment.
However, as of Exchange 2013 CU6, there are 956 (!!) cmdlets. Knowing which cmdlets to use can be challenging. It can also be difficult to decide what information from a cmdlet's output is relevant.
Here is my attempt to consolidate output for Client Access Servers. This script is in daily use, and it works for me. I hope you find it useful.
If this script is executed on an Exchange Server, it will by default generate information for that server. You can change that by specifying the "-server <servername>" switch. The "-location <location-name>" switch is used to specify a physical location where a particular server resides. For example "London" or "Charlotte". The script defaults to using "location". FInally, if you specify "-Verbose", the script will output timing information. That is, how long the script took to execute and how long each cmdlet took to execute.
