Testing Email Continuity
To prepare for Email Continuity testing, determine an appropriate procedure for
your organization. A Test Wizard walks you through the standard process.
To start a test of Email Continuity:
1 In the Administration Console Current Tests section, click Start Test to
launch the test wizard.
2 Identify the mailboxes to include in the test.
a. Select the tab that indicates how you will identify mailboxes: User
Sets, Mailing Lists, Servers, or Users.
b. If you select either the Mailing Lists or Users tab, search, locate, and
select appropriate listings. If you select the User Sets or Servers,
select the appropriate user sets or servers.
c. Click Add. Repeat until all appropriate selections display in the Start
test for these users list box.
3 Click Next.
TIP User Sets Make Testing Easier and More Reliable
The easiest and most repeatable process includes maintenance of lists of users
in testing User Sets. Select a test group from the Saved User Sets tab and click
Add the group to the Start Test list. Click Next. Support recommends that you
run tests with different groups of users.
When testing the service, you can edit the notification message to indicate
that the activation is a test (recommended), use the default notification
message, or bypass the notification message entirely.
4 Click Next. The message composition page containing the default
message displays. Either:
• Edit the Subject or Text of the message as needed, or
• To bypass the notification message and continue with the test process,
select Don’t send a notification message.
5 Click Next. The Confirmation page provides information on the actions to
be performed in the test.
6 Carefully review the contents of the Confirmation page and verify that
these are the test parameters you want.
7 Click Start Test.
