Chapter 1. An Evolution of Server Management

I've always been told to begin at the beginning. So that is what I will do.

When you picked up this book at your local bookstore, or looked at it by browsing to your favorite online bookseller, you already knew that you needed to learn how to evaluate Exchange Server's performance using System Center Operations Manager. You may even have had a desire to know how you could do it yourself. Rest assured, this book is the solution. You'll not only understand what Operations Manager can do for monitoring Exchange in your environment, you'll also know how to perform many of the same tests by hand should you need to.
