Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the number of messages in Hub Transport server queues:
Submission queue, which contains messages waiting to be categorized and routed to a delivery queue.
Mailbox delivery queue, which contains messages awaiting delivery to mailboxes on a Mailbox server that is located in the same site as the Hub Transport server.
Remote delivery queue, which contains messages awaiting delivery to mailboxes outside the Active Directory site in which the Hub Transport server is located.
Poison message queue, which is a quarantine destination for messages identified as potentially fatal to your Exchange Server environment.
Unreachable destination queue, which contains messages that cannot be routed to their destinations.
This script raises an event if the length of a queue or the change in the length of a queue exceeds the threshold you set.
This script is a member of the Exchange2007 recommended Knowledge Script Group. For more information, see Section 4.43, Recommended Knowledge Script Group.
