xii) 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 (http://www.myipswitch.com).
