Hello All
I am creating this article based on suggestion on below forum, it is basically same thing which is presented in a better way. :)
https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/powershell-monitoring-exchange-journal-mailboxes
As you all know, powershell is very powerful tool and can do or achieve anything you wish for (with bit of efforts of course ;-).. This article describes and shares how you can monitor journal mailboxes on Exchange for archiving rate and making sure EV journal archiving is keeping up ensuring that there's no backlog on Exchange journal databases.
How does this works:
What you can add:
Point to note here though is that, this script uses Exchange management shell DLLs, so you'll have to run this script from a workstation which has Exchange management tools installed and can connect to Exchange journaling server to pull the required statistics.
Please find the script, sample txt file & sample output file attached with this article. Hopefully this helps and I am here for any questions in this direction.
We have written a nice script for monitoring the journal Mailboxes
This monitors the mailboxes & if they have items more than 15000 than it sends alerts
