Mark,
I spend some time looking at this. All the reading I did basically
points to Exchange 2000 not having a MIB for this. The MIB you are using
looks like Exchange 5.5. I used getif and browsed to that MIB on my
Exchange 2000 server. When I poll it there is no data.
According to MS you need to use a WMI performance monitor to look at
these stats and Exchange 2000 doesn't use snmp.

Thanks again Microsoft!

Let me know if you come up with anything different.

Mitch

Sorry all, I appear to have a problem with my outlook web client....

Anyway, here is my configuration that I am using; it is basically the

Mitch,

Thanks for the response, I was able to use WS Ping Pro and do an SNMP
query on the OID in the cfg that I am using. Also, the community I not
"public" I only used that for this posting, both the read and write
community strings on the server have been changed to protect the
innocent.

Thanks,

Mark Freericks

Mark,
Lets start here...
Have you checked the snmp services on your Exchange server? Are they
running? Is the community string set properly? A word of advise..don't
use "public" as your string on the Exchange server. Try something a
little harder to guess.

I am trying to monitor my Exchange 2000 infrastructure but am receiving
the following when I try and poll my server:

Received SNMP response with error code

Can anyone help with this? Does anyone have any working cfg files for
Exchange?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
