Good afternoon I am in the process of implementing Exchange monitoring for my Exchagne 2003 server.How do I determine the best thresholds to set for things like Disk - Avearge Disk Bytes per Transfer and Virtual Megabytes used by the Info store. I found tons of articles on what the monitoring checks but can't find how to determine the correct numbuers for my enviroment.Thanks

I would start by looking through the PAL counters on this site. It seems to be very generic and basic monitoring and then tune it for your environment. http://www.codeplex.com/PALMark Morowczynski|MCT| MCSE 2003:Messaging, Security|MCITP:ES, SA,EA|MCTS:Windows Mobile Admin|Security+|http://almostdailytech.com

If you are considering any third party tools then it will automatically catches the necessary counters when the agent is installed on Exchange box. Probably below sites may help you to find better counters http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/HealthCheck/Exchange_Health.htm http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997156%28EXCHG.65%29.aspx Vinod |CCNA|MCSE 2003 +Messaging|MCTS|ITIL V3|
