How to find Outlook client version’s in your Exchange organization
I was playing with the new Exchange Client Network Bandwidth Calculator the other day and one of the input section asked me to enter the several Outlook client versions for accurate calculation. I couldn’t find a reliable source to compare the “Client versions” shown in the Get-LogonStatistics cmdlet.
For those you do not know what it does, it basically fetch the version of Outlook running for individual users. To get details of all Outlook versions connecting to your exchange organization:
Get-MailboxServer | Get-LogonStatistics | Select UserName,ClientVersion,LastAccessTime,ServerName
You may get results similar to this:
| UserName | ClientVersion | LastAccessTime | ServerName |

Hi
But how we can find outlook client versions connected to Exchange 2010. If I run:
Get-LogonStatistics -ideintity JSmith | Select UserName,ClientVersion,LastAccessTime,ServerName
I receive client version 3586.0.33077.1 for all checked mailboxes, and this is not Outlook version 🙂
I think we can find it only in RCA logs.
Best Regards
Remigiusz

This is strange, it shows me client versions like 3586.0.33086.2
Any idea?
October 9th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Guys – I echo !!! This requirement was for an Exchange 2007 client and I did not test in E2010 environment. Just tested and I see the same results…!!! I hope MS fix this soon!!!

Exchange 2010 environments: Clients no longer connect to Mailbox servers (CAS Servers connect FOR them)
🙂

The only way I have found to get client version with Exchange 2010 is from the RPCClientAccess logs on the CAS servers.

Excelent !

Hi Ratish,
How we can find same information on Exchange Server 2003 server, excpet of using Exmon tool.
March 6th, 2013 at 1:57 pm
For Exchange Server 2010 (at least SP2) try something like that:
& “C:\Program Files (x86)\Log Parser 2.2\LogParser.exe” “SELECT client-software,client-software-version,client-mode,count(*) FROM ‘\\path\c$\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Logging\RPC Client Access\RCA_*.LOG’ group by client-software,client-software-version,client-mode” –
nSkipLines:4 -i:CSV -rtp:-1
(of course http://serverfault.com/questions/297831/report-outlook-client-versions-for-outlook-anywhere-clients also helps).
October 24th, 2013 at 2:52 pm
Is there a way to export the result to a CSV? I’m not too skilled with the exchange management shell.
October 24th, 2013 at 5:21 pm
I’ve figured it out. Used Export-CSV.
