Enable "Show Advanced Counters"

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

This topic explains how to use Registry Editor to enable the "Show Advanced Counters" option.

Incorrectly editing the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Problems resulting from editing the registry incorrectly may not be able to be resolved. Before editing the registry, back up any valuable data.

Before You Begin

To perform this procedure, the account that you use must be delegated the following:

  • Exchange Server Administrator role

  • Local Administrators group for the target server

For more information about permissions, about delegating roles, and about the rights that are required to administer Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.
