kb59: Exchange 2007 agent prerequisites


By Susan - Heroix - Posted on 16 February 2010

Longitude uses the Exchange Management Shell (EMS) to monitor Exchange 2007. EMS itself requires the .NET Framework and PowerShell. Install the software in the following order:

  1. .NET Framework
  2. Windows Powershell
  3. Exchange 2007 Management Tools - after unpacking the management installation files, install with the command:
    setup.com /mode:install /role:T

The .NET Framework, Powershell and EMS can all be downloaded from Microsoft Downloads.

To monitor large Exchange implementations (e.g. many hundreds of folders or mailboxes), we recommend using a remote, dedicated agent. For smaller Exchange 2007 implementations, the agent on the Management Console can be used.
