E2K Monitoring and Alerting
|

| I'm an Admin for a 20,000 user Exchange 2000 environment (front-end/back-end
architecture, mailbox clustering, EMC SAN storage) and am trying to convince
my management that we need monitoring and alerting beyond what Exchange
System Manager has to offer. (i..e NetIQ, Quest, MOM, etc) Our SLA requires
24x7 availability.
Right now I feel like I'm flying a 747 with tape covering all the cockpit
gauges. I'd like this community's feedback so I can present mgmt with info
as to what everyone else is doing out there in the E2K world.
Thanks!

| I have just about the same setup as you, except I have Storage Works SAN
equipment. But we use NetIQ, and I don't know what I would do without it.
We have ours programmed to restart individual cluster resources when they go
off-line, and it even restarts failed services remotely. It also has the
ability to run mail tests, connectivity scripts, AD health.
In my situation we are running a 4 9's setup, which allows for around 4 min
of monthly down time. I could not do this without NetIQ.
