Let's see: good, cheap, and fast -- pick any two, 'cuz you won't get all three. :-) I use ServersAlive for my monitoring. It's not graphical, but it can deal with any situations you can come up with. ________________________________ From: Shevill, Mark M SITI-ITDCE22 [mailto:Mark.Shevill@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 8:53 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Exchange 2000 Monitoring http://www.MSExchange.org/ OK people I need some bright ideas. Since have migrated to E2K my right arm (link monitor) has been removed. We can't use the inbuilt monitoring tool of ESM due to Routing table port 691 traffic. Spotlite is not very good in such a large organisation and MOM 2004 is still under development and could take a long time yet. So I want something to monitor the E2K infrastructure which is graphical. Agentless and very cheap if not free. Ideas please.
