Planning Performance Monitoring for Mailbox Servers
Suggested performance counters for all Mailbox server roles:
LogicalDisk:• Avg. Disk sec/Read• Ave. Disk sec/Write• Avg. Disk sec/Transfer
MSExchangeIS Mailbox:• Messages Queued for
Submission
MSExchangeIS:• RPC Requests• RPC Averaged Latency• RPC Operations/sec• RPC Num Slow Packets• RPC Average Latency
MSExchangeIS Public:• Messages Queued for
Submission
Planning Performance Monitoring for Transport Servers
Suggested performance counters for the Hub Transport and Edge Transport server roles:
LogicalDisk:• Avg. Disk sec/Read• Avg. Disk sec/Write• Avg. Disk Queue Length
MSExchange Database ==> Instances:
• Log Generation Checkpoint Depth
• Version buckets allocated
• Log Record Stalls/sec
MSExchangeTransport Queues:
• Aggregate Delivery Queue Length (All Queues)
• Active Report Delivery Queue Length
• Active Mailbox Delivery Queue Length
• Retry Mailbox Delivery Queue Length
• Unreachable Queue Length• Largest Delivery Queue
Length• Poison Queue Length
Planning Performance Monitoring for Client Access Servers
Suggested performance counters for the Client Access server role:
LogicalDisk:• Avg. Disk sec/Read• Ave. Disk sec/Write
ASP.NET:• Application Restarts• Worker Process Restarts• Requests Current• Request Wait Time
MSExchange OWA:• Average Response Time• Average Search Time
MSExchange ActiveSync:• Average Request Time
MSExchangeFS: • OAB Download Task
Queued
RPC/HTTP Proxy:• Number of failed backend connection attempts per second
ASP.NET Applications:• Requests in Application
Queue
MSExchange Availability Service:
• Average Time to Process a Free Busy Request
Planning Message Tracking and Logging for Transport Servers
• Connectivity• Protocols• Message tracking• Agent activity• Routing tables
Exchange Server Transport logs are:
Planning How to Monitor Baselines and Trend Analysis
To use the collected performance data:
Create a baseline:• Monitor performance for a full business cycle• Note any peaks or troughs in the data
Set warning-level and error-level thresholds
Review growth trends regularly to:• Adjust threshold• Adjust server configuration
Lesson 2: Planning Exchange Server Troubleshooting
• Windows Server Tools
• Exchange Server Tools
• Discussion: Developing a Message Delivery Troubleshooting Plan
• Discussion: Developing a Client Access Troubleshooting Plan
• Discussion: Developing a Mailbox Database Troubleshooting Plan
Windows Server Tools
• ADSI Edit• DNS Resolver • DSACLS• Error Code Look-up• Event Viewer• LDP• Microsoft Error Reporting• Process Monitor
Windows Server tools that can help you troubleshoot Exchange Server problems include:
Exchange Server Tools
• Exchange Server Database Utilities• Exchange Server Jetstress• Exchange Profile Analyzer• Exchange Store TreeView Control• Information Store Integrity Checker• Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager• Inter-Organization Replication• Exchange Load Generator• Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA)• RPC Ping utility• Telnet
Exchange Server tools that can help you troubleshoot Exchange Server problems include :
Discussion: Developing a Message Delivery Troubleshooting Plan
•Users are reporting non-deliverable and slow-to-deliver outbound e-mail. What process can you use to troubleshoot the problem?
•What tools will you typically use?•What can you do to avoid this problem?•How can you mitigate the effects of the problem?
Discussion: Developing a Client Access Troubleshooting Plan
•Office Outlook users no longer can connect to the system. What process can you use to troubleshoot the problem?
•What tools will you typically use?•What can you do to avoid this problem?•How can you mitigate the effects of the problem?
Discussion: Developing a Mailbox Database Troubleshooting Plan
•A database has gone offline. What process can you use to troubleshoot the problem?
•What tools will you typically use?•What can you do to avoid this problem?•How can you mitigate the effects of the problem?
Lab: Planning Exchange Server 2010 Monitoring and Troubleshooting
• Exercise 1: Establishing a Baseline for Performance
• Exercise 2: Measuring the Production System Performance under Additional Load
Logon information
Estimated time: 45 minutes
Lab Scenario
You are a messaging engineer for A. Datum Corporation, an enterprise-level organization with multiple locations. You have been tasked with creating a performance baseline for the new Exchange Server 2010 messaging system that your colleagues are about to deploy.
Lab Review
• During the lab, you established a performance baseline. What is the purpose of a performance baseline?
• In exercise 2, you determined that processor resources were affected by the increased load during your test. What would you suggest to mitigate this?
