In addition to monitoring the usual WinNT perfromance counters, we are now starting to monitor the Exchange 5.5 counters themselves. Unfortunaetly, there is an amazing number of counters to choose from and we are unsure as to which to use.

We are preparing to migrate to Exchange 2000 early next year. Before we design a new system, we need to have a complete understanding of our present environment.
Can anyone suggest a set of Exchange counters to monitor and how to interprete them?

Does anyone know of any reference resources that clearly defines how to interpret the Exchange 5.5 counters?

I, too, find PerfMon a nightmare, and its difficult to find good info from MS sites. I instead go to
www.win2000mag.net/channels/exchange, or
www.win2000mag.com.
You can do a search on performance or performance monitor and get some good information.

Be aware that some of the articles are "locked", especially the more recent ones on 2000 platforms, but you should find plenty on Exchange 5.5.

I subcribe to the magazine, which provides me a user id and password to access all articles, and it has been worth the price because I find a lot better "how-to" information than Microsoft supplies on their web sites.
