Configure the Environment to Enable ADES AIM Monitoring

Apply the PowerShell configuration settings on the Exchange hosts to enable the ADES AIM to monitor a domain.

Note: Configure every Exchange host before you start monitoring.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Start, Programs, Accessories, Windows PowerShell, Windows PowerShell (x86).

    The Windows PowerShell command prompt appears.

  2. Run the following command to manage the host remotely through WinRM services:
    Enable-PSRemoting
    

    WinRM setup initiates remote management and creates a WinRM listener to accept WS-Man requests.

  3. Run the following command to add hosts to the list of trusted hosts:
    Set-Item WSMan:Localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value * -Force
    
  4. Run the following command to restart the WinRM service:
    Restart-Service WinRM
    

    The TrustedHosts settings are updated and the Exchange Server is available for monitoring.
