I found these Exchange related checks somewhere in the forum and thought they would fit into the cookbook:


With thanks to Cooper :
If you are interested in queue related stuff here are some of the perfmon items I monitor.

\smtp server\Local queue\_Total - This is the queue that is attempting to deliver to you exchange mailboxes (mail store)
\smtp server\Remote queue\_Total - This is the queue for messages that exchage is attempting to route to an external recipient (ie another server)
\smtp server\Categorizer queue\_Total - This is the queue where exchange holds messages while it does things, like look up addresses in AD, or DNS lookups.
