How to check if Outlook can connect to Exchange from a script?

Is there any way to check if Outlook can successfully connect to Exchange from Powershell? I would like to schedule that script for logging purposes.

After some research, I managed to cook up the following:

$outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application

Start-Sleep -s 5



$session = $outlook.session

$inbox = $session.GetDefaultFolder([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.olDefaultFolders]::olFolderInbox)



$date = Get-Date

If ($session.Offline) {

    $output = "Fail, mode $($session.ExchangeConnectionMode.ToString())"

} Else {

    $output = "Success"

}

"[$date] $output `n" | Out-File -Append "$HOMEol_log.txt" -Encoding "UTF8"

$outlook.Quit()

This writes "Success" even if I pull the cable. A different way to check I found is

$validStates = "olCachedConnectedDrizzle", "olCachedConnectedDrizzle", "olCachedConnectedHeaders", "olOnline"

if ($validStates -contains $session.ExchangeConnectionMode.ToString()) {...}

...which always fails, since connection mode here is olCachedDisconnected for some reason. If I manually open Outlook, I can see the connection is OK. All of this is happening in an internal network, so no O365 and such.

PS: Please tell me if the question is more appropriate for superuser.com, I'll move it there if need be.
