Queue Monitoring - ms exchange 2000 / 2003

[Russ]

Hello,

I am looking to track messages on ms exchange 2000 / 2003 queues using an
api, ie for a given queue, determine the number of messages and the detail of
those messages (message ids). Could you suggest a suitable api(s)?

Regards

Mike

WMI is the API that you what to have a look at download the Exchange SDK
from http://msdn.microsoft.com/exchange and have a look at WMI in the
Reference section. There are some differences in 2000 to 2003 there are a
lot more WMI classes available to do this type of thing now under 2003 but
you should be able to still do what you want to under 2000.

Cheers
Glen

The Exchange_Queue class has a CanEnumAll property which indicates whether
the queue can enumerate all messages that it contains. How do we enumerate
the messages ? Via the Exchange_Queued_Message class ?

Yes but when your using the Exchange_QueuedMessage class make sure you query
it with the key values for your queue
(linkid,linkname,queueid,queuename,protocol,virtua lmachine,virtualserver) .
eg

Select * From Exchange_QueuedMessage Where
LinkId='{68A9F027-2B10-4D16-90EB-E47203521557}/46151108/46151112' And
LinkName='DeferredDeliveryQueue' And ProtocolName='SMTP' And
QueueId='{0C92D8DD-6FF6-4450-8A3D-C3A107D53CB9}/46154372/46154376' And
QueueName='DeferredDeliveryQueue' And VirtualMachine='servername' And
VirtualServerName='1'
