Dear All,

we need to monitor the mailbox size of a certain user in MS Exchange and also the size of a database in SQL server 2005.

Do you know how we can accomplish this with the help of WUG 11.0.3 ?

Thanks a lot.

I've got a monitor for a MSDE database (the WUG one) size, using WMI (& WUG Premium). It would be similar (but using a different WMI object) for SQL 2005...

Sorry, I have not poked around an Exchange Server to know if there is a WMI object that shows a users mailbox size. If there is one, then it will be similar to above. But if not, then assuming it is a real file (or a folder with lots of files), the Active Script monitor might be used to get the needed information. See the Script Library for possible scripts that are available or may be modified to your purpose.

The only way to do it is an Active script Monitor, that will retrieve the information through WMI.
But no, you can't use a WMI monitor as it's not a WMI counter. It's a WMI object and you need a script to compute the data.

Thank you.
One more question. I never before use Active Script (because I’m not a programmer and i don't know any script), is there some standard script what can be downloaded (and tuned) and if yes, where i can find it ?
Thank you in advice. I understand that maybe i ask too much but i really don't have any idea of programming.

Hello,

same as the previous user. I don't know of a script which does that, but you'll probably find what you need by digging a bit in the web.
It should be a common need, thus others admins may already have wrote such script, and shared it on the web.

I too am looking for a way to monitor an individual mailbox (our archiving mailbox so we can see when our email retention software stops processing mail in that box)

If I find something, I 'll post it
