The value of attribute msExchCurrentServerRoles is showing something different....

Hi,

We are using the attribute "msExchCurrentServerRoles" to determine the role installed on the server.

For the previous versions of Exchange Server it works fine as given in the link below:

But for Exchange Server 2013 we found the values for this attribute get changed.

The mentioned values are not working.

In Exchange Server 2013 the mailbox role also include HUB and UM.

We checked in our enviornment the different values for attribute "msExchCurrentServerRoles" is as below:

1) For Mailbox ( + HUB + UM ) role: value of attribute "msExchCurrentServerRoles" is 54.

2) For CAS role only: value of attribute "msExchCurrentServerRoles" is 16385.

3) For Mailbox ( + HUB + UM ) + CAS role: value of attribute "msExchCurrentServerRoles" is 16439.

How do we interpreat these values to decide which roles ( or role combinations) installed on server??

Please reply.

Thanks in advance,
