Steve & Jan
Thanks for your suggestions.
I'll do some reading and see which solution should work for me.
One question though.
Have you seen any issues on your Exchange server after installing pNSclient or
nsclient++?
I am a bit reluctant to install any third party software of my Exchange server
which may cause performance or stability issues.
And if anybody has an example script on how to nsclient to monitor exchange
SMTP mail queue, etc, it would be great.
Appreciate your feedback.
