XADM: White Paper - Monitoring Exchange 2000 with Microsoft Operations Manager 2000

The Exchange 2000 monitoring tools that are available in Exchange System Manager are useful for monitoring individual Exchange 2000 servers. However, as deployments increase in complexity, monitoring servers becomes increasingly difficult. The Exchange 2000 Server component of Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2000 Application Management Pack version 1.0, the Exchange 2000 Management Pack, helps you to get the highest possible server availability. The Exchange 2000 Management Pack permits you to monitor all your Exchange 2000 servers from a single console or Web page.

The Exchange 2000 Management Pack monitors the performance, availability, and security of your Exchange 2000 servers through alerts, knowledge base solutions, and reports. The Exchange 2000 Management Pack also alerts you to events that have a direct effect on server availability while filtering out events that require no action. The Exchange 2000 Management Pack includes reports that you can use to summarize server availability and analyze trends. The Exchange 2000 Management Pack helps e-mail administrators of all experience levels monitor and manage Exchange 2000 deployments. The detailed alert descriptions and integrated knowledge base help Exchange 2000 administrators diagnose problems. Companies can also build customized knowledge bases by adding information that is specific to their own environments, which permits administrators to respond to issues more rapidly and efficiently.
