Test-CsMcxPushNotification

 

Topic Last Modified: 2012-04-23

Verifies that the push notification service is working. The push notification service (Apple Push Notification Service and Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Push Notification Service) provides a way to send notifications about events such as new instant messages or new voice mail to mobile devices like iPhones and Windows Phones, even if the Microsoft Lync 2010 application on those devices is currently suspended or running in the background.

Syntax

Test-CsMcxPushNotification -AccessEdgeFqdn <String> [-Certificate <X509Certificate2>] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-OutVerboseVariable <String>]

Detailed Description

The Apple Push Notification Service and the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Push Notification Service enable users running Lync 2010 on their Apple iPhone or Windows Phone to receive notifications about Lync 2010 events even when Lync 2010 is suspended or running in the background. For example, users can receive notice for events such as these:

- Invitations to a new instant messaging session or conference

- New instant messages

- New voice mail

Without the push notification service, users would receive these notices only when Lync 2010 was in the foreground and serving as the active application.

The Test-CsMcxPushNotification cmdlet provides a way for administrators to verify that the push notification service is working.
