Powershell Script to Determine Active User Count for Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2007

A script that I came up with to determine the user load that is being placed on a particular Exchange server so that you can plot the days of the week and times of the day that are busiest. This Powershell Script can be used with GFI Max Remote Management or SpiceWorks to easily identify busy Exchange servers.

$GETMSEXCHISAUC = Get-Counter ‘\MSExchangeIS\Active User Count’
$MSEXCHISAUC = $GETMSEXCHISAUC.CounterSamples |Select-Object CookedValue
Write-Host You have $MSEXCHISAUC.CookedValue Active Exchange User Connection\s to the Exchange Server

Feel free to edit the text part of the output (Last line), this could be simplified if required.

Powershell Script to Determine Number of Connections to your Microsoft Terminal Services Gateway

I’ve put together another script that might be useful for monitoring how busy your Terminal Services Gateway is at various times of the day.  This Powershell Script can be used with GFI Max Remote Management or SpiceWorks to easily identify busy servers.

$GETTSGWCC = Get-Counter ‘\Terminal Service Gateway\Current connections’
$TSGWCC = $GETTSGWCC.CounterSamples |Select-Object CookedValue
Write-Host You have $TSGWCC.CookedValue Current Connection\s to the Terminal Services Gateway

Feel free to edit the text part of the output (Last line), this could be reduced/simplified if required.

Fujitsu Primergy Servers – SNMP RAID and Server Health Checks

1 Comment

This next post is very useful for owners of Fujitsu or Fujitsu Siemens Primergy Servers, it highlights how you can monitor the status of your servers general Health and RAID Status.  To utilise these checks you will need to have the Windows SNMP Service installed and configured.  You will also need to download and install the Fujitsu ServerView RAID Manager and the Fujitsu ServerView Agent for Windows.

These OIDs can be used with your existing Server Monitoring Software such as GFI Max Remote Management or Spiceworks to provide upto the minute information.

Logical Drive Status (Array 1) = 1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.49.1.6.2.1.10.1.1

1 = unknown, 2 = ok, 3 = degraded, 4 = offline, 5 = rebuilding, 6 = verifying, 7 = initializing, 8 = morphing, 9 = partially degraded

Logical Drive Status (Array 2) = 1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.49.1.6.2.1.10.1.2

1 = unknown, 2 = ok, 3 = degraded, 4 = offline, 5 = rebuilding, 6 = verifying, 7 = initializing, 8 = morphing, 9 = partially degraded

If you have more than two Logical Drives (i.e. 4 x RAID 1 Sets) then simply substitute the last number of the above OID with 3 or 4, etc to reference the next Logical Drive

Number of Logical Drives = 1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.49.1.6.1.0

1 = 1 Logical Drive, 2 = 2 Locagical Drives, 3 = 3 Locagical Drives, etc

Number of Physical Drives = 1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.49.1.5.1.0

1 = 1 Physical Drive, 2 = 2 Physical Drives, 3 = 3 Physical Drives, etc

Power Supply Status = 1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.10.2.2.5.11.1.1.2.0

1 = unknown, 2 = ok, 3 = degraded, 4 = critical

Temperature Sensor Ambient = 1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.10.2.2.5.2.1.1.3.0.11

1 = unknown, 2 = sensor-disabled, 3 = ok, 4 = sensor-fail, 5 = warning-temp-warm, 6 = warning-temp-cold, 7 = critical-temp-warm, 8 = critical-temp-cold, 9 = damage-temp-warm

Temperature Sensor CPU (1) = 1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.10.2.2.5.2.1.1.3.0.1

1 = unknown, 2 = sensor-disabled, 3 = ok, 4 = sensor-fail, 5 = warning-temp-warm, 6 = warning-temp-cold, 7 = critical-temp-warm, 8 = critical-temp-cold, 9 = damage-temp-warm

Temperature Sensor CPU (2) = 1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.10.2.2.5.2.1.1.3.0.2

1 = unknown, 2 = sensor-disabled, 3 = ok, 4 = sensor-fail, 5 = warning-temp-warm, 6 = warning-temp-cold, 7 = critical-temp-warm, 8 = critical-temp-cold, 9 = damage-temp-warm

Please feel free to comment if you have any other useful OIDs or require further assistance

HP ProLiant ML Tower and DL RackMount Server – SNMP RAID and Health Checks

Leave a comment

My second post is going to be about SNMP checks that apply to the HP ProLaint ML Tower or DL Rack Server, you need to install/configure the Windows SNMP Service, HP Insight Management Agents and the HP ProLiant Array Configuration Utility before these OIDs will work.

Drive Array Health Status = 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.1.3.0
1 = other, 2= ok, 3 = degraded, 4 = failed

CPU Fans = .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.5.0 (Usually only appliacble to ML350 G5 as the ML350 G6 Variant does not have CPU Fans)
1 = other, 2= ok, 3 = degraded, 4 = failed

ECC Memory Errors Reported = .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.3.3.0
0 = No Errors, 1 = 1 Error, etc

Power Supply Status = .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.9.1.0
1 = other, 2= ok, 3 = degraded, 4 = failed

System Fans = .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.4.0
1 = other, 2= ok, 3 = degraded, 4 = failed

System Temperature = .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.1.0
1 = other, 2= ok, 3 = degraded, 4 = failed
