This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console to open the Exchange Queue Viewer. Use the Queue Viewer to monitor mail flow and to perform intrusive actions against the queuing database that is located on a computer that has the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Hub Transport server role or the Edge Transport server role installed.

Before You Begin

  • Exchange Organization Administrator role

To use the Queue Viewer on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, you must log on by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on that computer.
