AppManager for Microsoft Exchange Server and Exchange Online provides Knowledge Scripts for monitoring Microsoft Exchange Server.
The Exchange Server 2007 Knowledge Scripts supports Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 resources installed in non-clustered environments and the following clustered environments:
Cluster continuous replication (CCR) combines the log shipping and replay functionality in Exchange Server 2007 with the failover functionality in the Microsoft cluster service. CCR is a solution that can be deployed with no single point of failure in a single datacenter or between two datacenters.
Single copy clusters (SCC), known as shared storage clusters in previous versions of Exchange Server, are present in Exchange Server 2007.
In a clustered environment, AppManager raises error events if failover occurs while jobs are running. These error events are expected results of the failover process and can be safely ignored.
A subset of the Knowledge Scripts support Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019 resources installed in a database availability group (DAG). A DAG is a set of up to 16 Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, 2013, 2016, or 2019 Mailbox servers that provides automatic database-level recovery from a database, server, or network failure. Exchange Server 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019 do not use storage groups.
NOTE:You should review the permissions required for different roles in the Section 2.5, Permissions for Discovering Exchange Server Resources before you run the Knowledge Scripts.
You should review the permissions required for different roles in the Section 2.5, “Permissions for Discovering Exchange Server Resources,” in the AppManager for Exchange Management guide before you run the Knowledge Scripts.
From the Knowledge Script view of Control Center, you can access more information about any NetIQ-supported Knowledge Script by selecting it and clicking Help. Or in the Operator Console, click any Knowledge Script in the Knowledge Script pane and press F1.
