This section describes how to add and modify the application monitor for Exchange Server 2003 and
helps you view the monitor report.
Adding an Exchange Server 2003 application monitor
APM monitors the Exchange Server 2003 application only through WMI. When you add the
application monitor for Exchange Server 2003, make sure the following requirements are satisfied:

enabled with WMI. For information about enabling WMI for Windows Server, see Microsoft
Windows Server online help.
• The Exchange Server 2003 hosts must be added to the IMC Platform. For information about
adding hosts to the IMC Platform, see IMC Base Platform Administrator Guide for the chapter on
resource management.

provide the host administrator username and password.
