SUMMARY
Two new performance monitor counters for Exchange Server have been added. The new counters are found in Performance Monitor on the Edit menu by clicking Add to Chart, and selecting MSExchangeDS in the Object drop-down list. They are listed as:
- Incoming Inter-Site Replication Updates/sec
- Outgoing Inter-Site Replication Messages/sec
These counters show replication activity between sites. This activity would normally be monitored on bridgehead Exchange Server computers.
The Incoming Inter-Site Replication Updates/sec counter monitors updates as they are being applied to the directory. The Outgoing Inter-Site Replication Messages/sec counter reflects replication messages sent from one site to other sites. A single message can contain more than one directory object to be updated.
MORE INFORMATION
To install the new counters, the old counters must be unloaded, new files copied onto the system, and the new counters loaded.
The following batch file can be used to install the counters. Modify the file to reflect the paths to the Exchsrvr\Bin folder and the location of the new files. The steps can also be run manually from the command prompt.
NOTE: The Exchange Server computer must be version 5.5 with Service Pack 2 installed.
Possible Batch File
REM use a Windows NT account that is allowed to "act as part of the operating system"
REM put the new files in a directory called c:\dsactr
REM stop Exchange services
