Description

The script is intended to check for Exchange database update and transaction log copy problems. I have additionally added an event logging to the script. In fact I have created this script to log the Exchange database update and transaction log copy problems to the event log on the Exchange Servers and afterwards collect the event logs with SCOM and trigger the needed alerts. Of course you can remove the related part if you wish. If you want to use the script with SCOM you need to first create the related event log source as follows on the Exchange Server where you want to run the script. You can create the event source basically as follows.

#New-eventlog -logname Application -source "SCOM-Custom-DB-Queue-Checker"

The script is also available on Technet Script Repository for download :
