Need windows tools...

[akoss]

I was looking for a couple of items....

1. Something to log the server loads over time, and display them graphically (hopefully)
2. Monitoring software that can monitor either the server it resides on, or from another server on the same network. *MUST* be able to send an email through exchange (I think)

Th4|\|k5!

Try going through this list

No point for single use or only a couple machines, but if you're trying to do this for lots of hosts, check out Zabbix (http://www.zabbix.com)

Wow, that's quite a list! Thanks... hopefully someone else will chime in with other ideas too.

My wife is running an IIS server that runs inside their LAN and can setup another machine to monitor the first one, I guess it doesnt need the Exchange mail if it is running IIS too, somehow it deals with the mail using some kinda mail transport thingy :D ......
