Many admin tools that we know & love in Exchange 2010 has been retired in 2013, including the “famous” Exchange Best Practice Analyzer.
You should be familiar by now that Exchange Administration Centre is the new EMC & ECP combined. Exchange 2013 only has the toolbox as part of the management console.
What is wrong with this picture? Some of our admin tools didn’t make it to Exchange 2013 including BPA and Routing Log Viewer.

Tools that didn’t make in 2013 include the following.
- Exchange Best Practice Analyzer
- Mail Flow Troubleshooter
- Routing Log Viewer
- Performance Monitor
You can only use these tools in the 2010 world.

How does one then handle Message Tracking in Ex13?
PowerShell or a new gui in the EAC?
