If it's performance you (or "they") want to gather, you could use the Exchange Performance Analyser, which is a subset of the Exchange Troubleshooting Assistant, and set that to run for the time period required.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/2007/bb288481.aspx Can't argue (too much) with a tool for that purpose developed by the Exchange Team themselves. And it'll collect the counters actually required, not just everything. good luck! Mark On 12/06/07, Howard Rappaport <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Absolutely it depends ... And it appears that we've got suckered into another discussion with less than all the information we need.

It makes no sense to me to just collect data for the sake of collecting it. Of those 214 different items, which ones change quickly enough to warrant collection every fifteen seconds? What is the intent of this data collection? What is the expectation from this exercise?

I just did (over the past month) 15 minute intervals and 15 second intervals and got two totally different sets of data with about a dozen counters. 15 seconds may be excessive, but 15 minutes isn't nearly enough.
