Hi, Just a quick couple of questions. I've been off the list for a bit. - I want to purchase a sub for Observium, but being public sector we have some weird ways of paying for things. Who should the purchasing department contact? - Does the WMI stuff work for exchange? I send a mail about it a while back, and it certainly would be useful to us, or at least pointers to how the wmi framework function would be good so I can do some scripting myself. Any ideas if the wmi scripts work for 2010 exchange - I've only seen anything done via powershell there..
Thanks Andy

Hi,
WMI stuff works for Exchange (2010).
But you need to compile your own wmic on your Observium server and copy it to /usr/bin. Example: http://techedemic.com/2014/09/17/installing-wmic-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts-64-bit/
Set some config parameters in /opt/observium/config.php. $config['wmic'] = "/usr/bin/wmic"; $config['wmi']['domain'] = "DOMAIN"; $config['wmi']['user'] = "USER"; $config['wmi']['pass'] = "PASSWORD";
Edit the exchange_trans_smtp.inc.php script perhaps. See: http://jira.observium.org/browse/OBSERVIUM-1259
Manually enable the wmi module under device settings under the tab modules in Observium, and under the wmi tab enable Exchange. As well as make the WMI user account (same one as specified in config.php) available on the Exchange server. See: http://observium.org:8080/browse/OBSERVIUM-518 (and the attachment PDF there)
Do notice the warning there: use at own risk!
Cheers,
Arthur

I think the easiest approach would be for you to just buy it with your credit card and then write an expense for it :P
