Adding and Editing an Exchange 2003 Monitor

The Exchange Monitor lets you monitor the Microsoft® Exchange™ 2003 Server application. The Exchange 2003 Monitor provides real-time information about the state and health of Microsoft 2003 Exchange servers on your network. The Exchange 2003 Monitor supports monitoring of Microsoft Exchange Server version 2003 only, which can be on any machine in your network. To create custom parameters to monitor, the Exchange Server host must be WMI-enabled.

Important: Use the Exchange 2003 Monitor to monitor Exchange 2003 servers only.

Note: This feature is only available in WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition. To update your license, visit the MyIpswitch portal.
