Exchange availability entities not monitored

[Jorge]

Hi,

We have SCOM SP1 installaled on a windows server 2008 x64. Exchange 2007
also on Windows Server 2008 CCR clustered.

All three hotfixes needed for the Exchange MP are applyed.

Afterwards we deployed SCOM agents on every Exchange physical nodes, enabled
proxying and installed Exchange 2007 Management Pack.

In Exchange State View all servers into the Exchange organization show up
monitored except for the windows cluster which appears unmonitored.

Besides, in Exchange State View, the Exchange roles for the servers have
been discovered and show up as monitored in the appropiate column. But, when
we open Health Explorer for any of the servers, under Entity
Health/Availability/Windows Local Application health Rollup, none of the
Exchange roles are monitored on any server.

I guess this isn't a normal behavior, is it? Where can we find the
availability monitors for the Exchange entities?

Thanks in advance and regards,
Jorge Quesada

Hello, what you are seeing is probably a side effect of this essentially
being a MOM 2005 Management Pack running on OpsMgr. Health for converted
Management Packs do not roll up to Exchange roles, they roll up to computers
(since that concept is the one understood by MOM 2005).

I wrote a blog post on how to track availability with this MP using the
Service Level Dashboard solution accelerator.
