The "test-*" command fails when you run it on a site that contains only CAS roles in an Exchange 2007 environment

In a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 environment, some customers deploy active directory sites that contain only Client Access Server (CAS) roles. These computers are acting as CAS proxies. When you run the test-* commands for protocols that are supported in proxying, the commands fail. This occurs because these commands expect a mailbox server in the same site. Therefore, some customers are unable to run these commands against any of the servers in this proxy-only site. For example, you run the following command in a site that contains only CAS roles: When you run this command, you receive the following error message:Note The affected commands include the following commands:

• Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity
