He had a few scripts he uses for monitoring, 2 he mentions I use as well but the third caught my eye.
It was a great oneliner (gotta love those) about the builtin HealthReport checks for Exchange.
The thing is that it was for 1 server and I have several so I made some adjustments and look here now it can be used for an array of servers.
Thanks Joakim, and check out his post about the Health Checking / Monitoring Exchange Server 2013/2016
Run it as a scheduled task daily with these arguments:
powershell.exe -noprofile - file "C:\_Scripts\Get-HealthReport\Get-HealthReport.ps1"
Note the spaces around "Style" for the table, I had some trouble getting the code to display correctly.
