RE: {bb} Re: monitoring Exchange mail store size

["Gene Beaird" <bgbeaird@sbcglobal.net>]

Well, today, I was mostly successful in getting this set running.  One of
the 'small' bits is making sure the log directory for the Exchange log (in
the Exchange server script) is the same as the logging directory you set up
for the Saved Logs in the bbntcfg.exe app.  When this is the same, you will
get the EXDB monitored on your Big Brother page.

I think that is an important little detail to add.  Where, and how does one
go about getting the scripts on deadcat changed/updated?  If it is something
I can do myself, I will be happy to.  Thanks.

Gene Beaird,

None.  I am trying to run this on two different W2K servers.
