Hello We are running Exchange 2003/2007. We are looking into a mobile email solution, similar to Blackberry. For a trial, we're going to run this again some test users on a test Exchange server. Could someone please advise what sort of things we should be measuring against? I was thinking Perfmon for CPU, memory but any others? Would it be worth measuring RPC Latency, or will this not be affected?

What solution are you looking at?

It's available on many mobile devices. It's already a part of Exchange and doesn't need additional machines or O/S licenses. >For a trial, we're going to run this again some test users on a test Exchange server.

Go get a copy of PAL (http://pal.codeplex.com/) and PerfWiz (http://blogs.technet.com/b/mikelag/archive/2010/07/09/exchange-2007-2010-performance-data-collection-script.aspx)and get a baseline for your system(s). Then measure with your test users. If you use Blackberry you should keep in mind that BES will increase the IOPS per user and may have an effect on the ability of your storage system to keep up with the extra work. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
