Having Issues getting Exchange Sensors Working

Votes:

0

Anyone else having trouble getting Exchange 2007 sensors working? I've attempted to add a number of the builtin Exchange sensors in PRTG and I'm getting the following error.

"Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition: The specified class was not found."

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Under Exchange 2007, Microsoft has indeed replaced CDOEXM and Exchange WMI providers with PowerShell cmdlets. This could, of course, be the reason for this particular issue.

Thanks for the reply! I've reviewed the information suggested above and I'm still not having any luck. One thing that's got me confused is that I've read that the WMI classes aren't available on Exchange 2007. Can anyone confirm or deny that?

I had the same problem with WMI and Exchange 2007. The following fixed the issue: Run wmiadap /f to re-parse all of the available libraries on the system. Note that you may need to restart the WMI service (winmgmt) after this.
