Exchange 2016 Client Access Role Services and Counters (Advanced)

This SAM application monitor template contains advanced performance and statistics counters to monitor the Exchange 2016 Client Access Role. Some counters may require manual configuration, such as setting up installation-specific instances, correcting thresholds for the client’s environment, and so forth.

To determine roles and if a Client Access Server (CAS) role is assigned, connect to Exchange Management Shell and run the following command:
Get-ExchangeServer | select name, serverrole, edition, admindisplayversion, isClientAccessServer | fl
