Re: How do I monitor Exchange 2007 Database status in Solarwinds?

Looks like we'll have to use this to monitor the up/down status of the db then. Within the script body there is a slight issue I am having with naming the DB. Below is the script:

Dim objNamedArgs

Set objNamedArgs = WScript.Arguments.Named

If objNamedArgs.Exists("ServerName") Then

Else

    WScript.Echo ("Message: Please set correct argument into counter's argument box: Name of target server in double quotes according to the output of command: Get-ExchangeServer. Example: /ServerName:""mailserver"" or /ServerName:""mailserver.test.com"".")

    exitCode = 1

    Wscript.Quit

End If

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile ("C:\Windows\Temp\DatabaseSize_DatabaseID.ps1", 2, True)

objTextFile.WriteLine("add-pssnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin;")

objTextFile.WriteLine("add-pssnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2007;")

objTextFile.WriteLine("$Error.Clear();")

objTextFile.Write("$target = """)

objTextFile.Write(objNamedArgs("ServerName"))

objTextFile.WriteLine(""";")

objTextFile.WriteLine("$stat = (Get-MailboxDatabase -Status -identity Mailbox Database | foreach {$_.databasesize.ToMb()})")

objTextFile.WriteLine("if ($Error.Count -eq 0) {")

objTextFile.WriteLine(" Write-Host ""Message: Database Size of DatabaseID(MB): $stat"";")

objTextFile.WriteLine(" Write-Host ""Statistic: $stat""; ")

objTextFile.WriteLine(" Exit 0;")

objTextFile.WriteLine(" }")

objTextFile.WriteLine("Write-Host ""Message: $($Error[0])""; ")

objTextFile.WriteLine("Exit 1; ")

objTextFile.Close

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _

    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,authenticationLevel=Pkt}!\\" _

    & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colSettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _

    ("SELECT Architecture FROM Win32_Processor")

For Each objProcessor In colSettings

    If objProcessor.Architecture = 9 Then

        powerpath = "%windir%\sysnative"

    Exit For

    ElseIf objProcessor.Architecture = 0 Then

        powerpath = "c:\windows\system32"

    Exit For

    End If

Next

Set vPSscrIpt = objShell.Exec( powerpath & "\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe C:\Windows\Temp\DatabaseSize_DatabaseID.ps1")

vPSscrIpt.StdIn.Close()

WScript.Echo(vPSscrIpt.StdOut.ReadAll)

WScript.Quit vPSscrIpt.ExitCode

I have put in bold the database name but this seems to return the following error message when I run the script

"Can't identify dynamic column definitions from script output. Please, check if script output has properly formatted unique identifiers." Can you clarify where I am going wrong?

Thanks
