Hi Team, we have few exchnage servers accorss the location. Me and our team sits on the main location. We don't have MOM or SCOM to Monitor the exchange servers to get any type of alerts. Just i want to know , is there any tool or any way to notify to us (our team) if any exchnage server Got Rebooted or Offline..? simple and clear : If the server got reboots, we have to get any type of alerts "saying the server " Server Name" was rebboted.

Hi Check the event viewer for information You can setup HP Sim, Dell also have something like Sim and IBM have their own solution Or maybe have a look at Nagios Jonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

If the server reboots there will be three "eventlog" entries in the system event log. If the system goes down due to a complete hardware failure there may only be two. If the server is offline, well . . . how do you distinguish between a network prolem and a server problem? Using ping *might* be all you need, but that'll still work even if the entire Win32 subsystem crashes. >simple and clear : If the server got reboots, we have to get any type of alerts "saying the server " Server Name" was rebboted. Then you need something to monitor the systems "vital signs". Check out something simple like "Servers Alive!" to get started. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Rich, i had this, Before am going to test the same in production. i am testing the salive in lab. i had installed on of the server and added some server entries. when the server was down, it is showing the RED alert, But i didn't receive any email alert, even i had configured , from serveralive@mydomain.com i had created the serversalive mailbox in 2k7 and checked. No result. How do i get the email alert? Iam using Freeware vesrion. Maximum of entries.....and No Internet connection in my testing LAB.

(assuming you are using exchange 2010)_ i have setup a script to monitor the exchange services, check it out , just schedule this to run every 10-15mins. http://www.myexchangeworld.com/2010/07/powershell-script-to-monitor-exchange-server-2010-services-email-report/ thanks thiyaguThiyagu | MCTS/MCITP - Exchange 2007 | MCSE 2003[Messaging] | http://www.myExchangeWorld.com.

Hello Thiyagu, Thanks for your sharing this script, Currently am using exchange 2007. Hope this script will work in E2K7. also.Can i copy the entrire script and run like like normal windows script...instead of running PS command. (Frankly speaking, i don't know how to run the script from PS command) Will the script run against , when the server end. What happen if the server is down totally? Please help / suggest to run your scripts which looks nice?

Hi, It will work on Exchange 2007 as well, it only uses get-service cmdlet to query the servers. 1. you have to run this on a different server propably from your main site. 2. you can setup a batch file calling the powershell script within that batch file 3. create a schedule task and then put the batch file in the scheduled task. Let me know if you have questions. thanks ThiyaguThiyagu | MCTS/MCITP - Exchange 2007 | MCSE 2003[Messaging] | http://www.myExchangeWorld.com.

Hi thiyagu. Am finding very difficult to run the script as i dnot know the wrtting script knowledge???/ What i did is given below Saved the Script in the TXT file and removed the Number from 1 to 71, Modified the from , to everything as per of my domain and save as .PS1 Created a txt file and put the server name and saved. and then wb\ent to PS command prompt then ran the .\test.ps1 lot of errors!!.... Unexpected token 'add-content' in experssion or statement... NO knowledge in scrpting for me... Any other option !!!!!

Hi Thiyagu, Your scripts is running very well. The below steps are did from my end. Installed the PuwerGUI and run the script and works very well Thanks a lot. but what happen if the server is done. will alert comes? like server not reachable or node down ..something....

i havent put that logic in there, it would be just a matter of putting another function in there to report it. if you want here is the steps which you can use to edit the script, you have to code this. 1. ping the server before querying it 2. if ping failes, write that server is down in the report. 3. if ping succeeds, then conitnue wit the script. thanks ThiyaguThiyagu | MCTS/MCITP - Exchange 2007 | MCSE 2003[Messaging] | http://www.myExchangeWorld.com.
