Exchange 2003 service
The Exchange 2003 service uses the Windows probe to monitor the Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server for its availability and performance.
Service Type | WMI |
Instances on a Device | 10 |
Supported Systems/Applications | Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 |
Device Class | Server - Windows |
Monitored By | Windows probe |
Scan Interval | 15 minutes |
Public Information Store EDB file | The location of the Exchange Database (EDB) and Streaming Database (STM) files that you would like to monitor. The service monitors the combined size of the files and displays a status based on the specified thresholds on the Windows Services dashboard. These files contain all of the data on the Public Information Store. Access to the Public Information Store is not restricted. The default limit reflects the size of the standard edition, which is 16 GB. Modify these limits to reflect the actual disk limitations for non-standard versions of the Information Store server. Ensure that you include the double backslashes when specifying your own EDB and STM files. |

Private Information Store EDB file | The Exchange Database (EDB) and Streaming Database (STM) files that you would like to monitor. The service monitors the combined size of the files and displays a status based on the specified thresholds on the Windows Services dashboard. These files contain all of the data on the Private Information Store. Access to the Private Information Store is restricted. The default limit reflects the size of the standard edition, which is 16 GB. These limits should be modified to reflect the actual disk limitations for non-standard versions of the Information Store server. Ensure that you include the double backslashes when specifying your own EDB and STM files. |

During the monitoring process, the probe uses the WMI protocol to query the following events on the Exchange Server:
- the number of users currently using the Information Store,
- the public and private Information Store sizes,
- the send queue size of the MS Exchange Information Store Mailbox,
- the receive queue size of the MS Exchange Information Store Mailbox, and
- the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) requests.
To monitor the Exchange Server, you must:
- add the Exchange Server as a device.
- add a Windows probe.
- use the Window probe to add the Exchange 2003 service to the device.
