RMA config & script to monitor Exchange Mailbox Store

Post by richard@ctchatswood.com »

Could anyone who has RMA installed & working on SBS 2003 and/or sbs 2008 and/or SBS 2011 offer me screenshots of the RMA configuration and the script(s) necessary to monitor the state of the Exchange Server mailbox store and to alert a remote installation of Hostmonitor when that store dismounts?

No LAN or VPN access, so HostMonitor has to get to RMA via the net.

Thanks in advance

screenshots of the RMA configuration? Like this one http://www.ks-soft.net/images/hostmon4/rma_cfg1.gif?
H'm, I do not see why you may need this screen shot as RMA has single switch related to Shell Script test method - test is enabled or test is disabled.

Probably you never used RMA and you don't know how to install it? Then I would recommend to check the manual. Please read the manual or visit our web site at http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/rma-win/index.htm

Regarding script... I think we sent you example of such script yesterday.
Does not work?

I'm not too familiar with scripting and cannot see how the parameters hook into the script, so I was looking for peer support. When I save the script as a vbs file, it doesn't run, so I'm lost and was looking for help from someone who has implemented this and can give me a working example.

Perhaps that person will read this post & make my day.

it doesn't run
If you start it, it will run. Yes, results can be different. E.g. it may show some error message, return Unknown status, etc.
What exactly result/error do you see?

Normally you start VB scripts using Windows cscript.exe utility.
In our e-mail (that we sent you couple days ago) you may see command line that can be used to launch script.
That command line designed to start scripts from HostMonitor but you may use almost the same command to launch script without HostMonitor, just replace %Script% %Params% variables with name of your script file and parameters. Also you may remove /B switch.
E.g.
cscript /E:VBScript whatever.vbs "Server Name" "Storag eGroup Name" "MDB Name"

Sorry to resurrect an old post but I am also looking for a script to check Exchange 2007/2010 Information Store status. Is one available for download?

Thanks,
