Can't Monitor Queue size in Exchange 2010

[Rosetta_itgroup]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a difficulty of monitor Exchange 2010 queue.
i read in the forum that it needs to be monitored via WMI but i can't get it to work.

i'm getting: Error: Invalid Namespace

my test:
Target host: <my server name>
Namespace: ROOT\MicrosoftExchangeV2:Exchange_Queue
WQL: select Size from Exchange_Queue where QueueName='DeferredDeliveryQueue'

This is how my test looks like:

this is the WMI security properties on my exchange server:

I think namespace should be ROOT\MicrosoftExchangeV2

i tried, doesn't work.
still getting Invalid namespace error

Are you sure such namespace should exist?
MicrosoftExchangeV2 supported by Microsoft Exchange 2003 but we cannot find reference to this namespace in Exchange 2010 manuals

Actually I'm not sure, I have collected this information from this forum.

I'm looking for a way to monitor the queue via HostMonitor test and this is the best that I have come up with.
If you know what line I have to put to monitor the queue I wil really appreciate that.

You may use "Performance counter" test method and use one of the following counters:
\MSExchangeTransport Queues(_total)\Aggregate Delivery Queue Length (All Queues)
(Shows the number of messages queued for delivery in all queues.)
\MSExchangeTransport Queues(_total)\Retry Mailbox Delivery Queue Length
(Shows the number of messages in a retry state attempting to deliver a message to a remote mailbox.)
\MSExchangeTransport Queues(_total)\Messages Submitted Per Second
(Shows the number of messages queued in the Submission queue per second. Determines current load.)

Please check the following MS acticle for details and other performance counters: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff367923(v=exchg.141).aspx

I used the Performance test with these tests, exactly what i have been looking for, big thanks!
