You can download a Word document from the Microsoft site on
troubleshooting Exchange 2003 performance issues that includes
Suggested queue counters to monitor -
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=8679F6BD-7FF0-4
1F5-BDD0-C09019409FC0&displaylang=en.

Based on that document, I've set up the following commands. I'm not
really sure how well they're working (they always return 0 on the
quiet Exchange box I'm using them on so far) so I'd be interested
to hear how you get on.
