Making sure that Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 servers are operating reliably is a key objective for daily messaging operations. Therefore, it should be systematically approached based on the principles outlined in the Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF). For more information about the MOF, see Microsoft Operations Framework.
A significant aspect of Exchange 2007 daily operations is monitoring the health of the Exchange components to achieve the following functions.
- Generate alerts when operational failures and performance
problems occur.
- Represent the health state of servers and server roles.
- Generate reports of operational health over time so that you
can estimate future demands based on usage patterns and other
performance data.
The Exchange 2007 Management Pack for MOM 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1) contains rules to monitor a comprehensive array of server health indicators and create alerts when problems are detected, or when reasonable thresholds are exceeded.
