Exchange Server 2003
The Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 provides mail services for domain users by cooperating with Active
Directory. It supports SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4 mail protocols.
Adding an Exchange Server 2003 application monitor
APM monitors the Exchange Server 2003 application through WMI. When you add application
monitors for Exchange Server 2003, follow these guidelines:
 Configure and enable WMI for the Windows operating system on which Exchange Server 2003 is
installed. For information about enabling WMI for Windows, see Microsoft Windows Server online
help.
 Add Exchange Server 2003 hosts to the IMC Platform so APM can obtain and display network
connections of the hosts and their access devices in the application topology. For more information
about adding hosts to the IMC Platform, see HP IMC Base Platform Administrator Guide.
 Obtain the correct username and password of the user who has the Windows administrator's
privileges.
 To view traffic statistics in the monitor report of the Exchange Server 2003 application, make sure
at least one probe is configured in APM. After an Exchange Server 2003 application monitor is
added, APM sends the IP address and service port of the monitored Exchange Server 2003
application to the probes for traffic collection.
