Has anyone got a script example for monitoring MS exchange servers that I could have a look at?
I use NSClient to monitor my Exchange servers. Here are the service definitions that I use:
Service definition
define service{

with NSClient you can get any performance counter values you can see in the perfromance snap-in.
