Chapter 23

One key to running a successful network is keeping a close eye on its operation, especially if you are running a complex system such as a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server. By keeping close watch over your organization and its components, you can spot potential problems before they occur and can quickly respond to the problems that do occur. Monitoring also allows you to identify trends in network use that signal opportunities for optimization and future planning.

This chapter covers many of the tools that you can use to monitor Exchange 2000 Server. Some of these tools, such as Event Viewer and System Monitor, are provided by Microsoft Windows 2000. Other tools, such as server and link monitors, are part of Exchange 2000 Server itself.
