Hi All -

I am currently looking for a way to automatically monitor
my company's servers (not many, about 10) and, should
anything major happen (server down, repeated failed admin
logins, etc), I would like to be automatically emailed an
alert. Basically, I am just looking for a way to be
emailed alerts instead of having to sort through a bunch
of event logs from a bunch of servers. Is there a way to
do this using any of the tools that come with Win2000
Server (or any of the resource kits)? I have heard about
3rd party tools like IP Sentry - are these any good?
Anything better? Just looking for some good advice from
anyone who has experience with this. Thanks in advance...

FYI: we run an all- win2000 server network with AD, an
exchange server, clients are either 2000 pro or xp pro.
 
I have been using RedAlert(www.redalert.com) by Keynote for a few years and
it has been great. Not sure if it would work for internal network though but
there are worth checking out. I have them monitoing my websites every 5
minutes and they have always caught it when things went down. They have a
system that calls/emails me when our servers go down....

Check the alerting actions of AdRem NetCrunch
(http://www.adremsoft.com/netcrunch/features-detail.php?ix=2). There is many
alerting possibilities, you better check it.
