Identifying OS connecting to exchange 2013

Hi

We would like to figure out a way to see all different kind of operating systems which are connecting to our Exchange 2013 server. Not only for ActiveSync devices, also for the Outlook Anywhere devices.

In the past we used ExMon with Exchange 2007 but I haven't found any solution for Exchange 2013 so far.

Any suggestions for a good tool or if possible by PowerShell, a Script to get all the Operating Systems?

Thanx

Hi Wayne,

Base on my knowledge, I don't think there is a tool could get all the client Operating Systems, include ExMon.

Using ExMon, administrators can view the following, but no client OS information:

  • IP addresses used by clients

  • Microsoft Office Outlook versions and mode, such as Cached Exchange Mode and classic online mode

  • Outlook client-side monitoring data

  • Resource use, such as:

  • CPU usage

  • Server-side processor latency

  • Total latency for network and processing with Outlook 2003 and later versions of MAPI

  • Network bytes

Do you mean that get all client outlook version ?Right?

If it is right, I recommend you can use Log Parser to analyse the RPC Client Access logs on the Mailbox servers.

The RPC Client Access logs are stored in the \Logging\RPC Client Access folder of the Exchange installation path, eg C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Logging\RPC Client Access.

The log files are in CSV format and therefore can be analysed using Log Parser. Two of the fields of interest are:

  • client-software
  • client-software-version
