Testing Exchange Web Services (without impacting your own Outlook settings)

Finally there is an easy way to test Exchange Web Services without pulling your hair out.

It seems like every time I do an Exchange installation, the question arises around how to test remote connectivity. Yes, I could jump on a machine that is external to the network, and test away. But, what about being able to test things while I’m configuring them? Or, ruling out a client that just doesn’t want to work. Or, the often lack of an ActiveSync device to test with… and so on…

In other words, I have been searching for a way to test EWS without worry about collecting various devices to test with.

***BLAM***

It seems my wishes have been answered. I just found this site a couple days ago:

Basically, as the name suggests, you can use this site to test the connectivity to your Exchange environment. Pretty cool!
