[ExchangeList] Monitoring rpc/https remotely in Exchange 2003 / 2007

Hi all,
 
DFoes anyone know of a way to perform automated monitoring of rpc/https for Exchange?  In other words, I would like to test whether RPC/HTTPS is working from a remote location, automatically, every few minutes.  I expect this will require a script running on the external tester which could be a windows or Linux system I guess.  I know how to test port 443 telnet but that is not sufficient, I need to test more in-depth and actually log into a test account over RPC/HTTPC every few minutes.
 
Any suggestions?  Has anyone written such a script or know of a program that does this?  (the usual commercial monitoring programs that I know of do not handle this as far as I know).
 
TIA!
 
JW
