Monitor Exchange 2010 Database Whitespace

Hey b0rgi85,

this is possible with remote powershell. But there are a lot of things to do, before remote powershell works.

1. You have to use the powershell architecture from your PRTG installation. PRTG in 32bit = Powershell in 32Bit, PRTG in 64bit = powershell in 64bit.
2. Follow this instructions for enable remote powershell on a server ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff700227.aspx )
3. Think about the security, signing and setting ( https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/18963-how-can-i-use-powershell-scripts-with-prtg-s-execute-program-notification )

Good examples for remote powershell and exchange are here ( http://www.msxfaq.de/tools/prtg/prtgexcasuser.htm ). There you can use scripts to compare or do some developer work with.

TIP:

If you want to use the "parameter" section in PRTG EXE/XML, than you have to to something linke this (example is a script on msxfaq):

write-host "Start PRTG Sensor" 
[string]$exchangeuri         = "http://nawex001.netatwork.de/Powershell"
[string]$message ="Start:"
$error.clear() 

<- change this to -> 

write-host "Start PRTG Sensor" 
param([string]$exchangeuri) #URL of Exchange Server
[string]$message ="Start:" #Message on top of the sensor in the green box
$error.clear()

In this example you can use the "box" to add the Name of the Exchange-Server manually in the PRTG Sensor. Otherwise it would be fixed in the script itself.

For more information please look an this page ( https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/exe_script_advanced_sensor ).

If you need more help, talk back and you'll get it ;)

Best
