I am looking to implement monitoring of the Information store mounted status of Exchange server 2000/2003.

Unfortunately, this information appears to be only available via the Microsoft CDO for Exchange Management Library (CDOEXM.DLL)

IMailboxStoreDB interface
Status property



Is there some way to include LuaCOM http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~rcerq/luacom/

We have an exchange monitor, is this something that could be incoorporated into that one in a generic fashion or is the task specific for your company ?

I'm relcutant to include LuaCOM , from what I can tell its not activly maintained.

Quick info on exchange, all mail on a server resides within mailbox store, if such store database file is not mounted, mail cannot be processed, nor accepted, nor processed.

Thus I strongly believe that anyone using Exchange would want to see that their mailbox store are mounted, this should be part of the exchange monitor.


The catch is that CDOEXM.DLL is only registered on the exchange server or on a machine that has the exchange management tools installed
info on the dll http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms...(EXCHG.65).aspx

Note that this is for exchange 2000 and 2003 only, exchange 2007 is managed differently:

The information that was available from WMI and CDOEXM is now available only via PowerShell SDK:

Specific PowerShell commands to get the mounted status on the store:
