Open the exchange management console and drill down to your mailbox store login OU.
Servers:(server name):First storage group:mailbox store:logon’s.

Hi Redhot2006 and everyone,

As far as I know, there isn’t any fancy way to achieve this.
Even so, it’s easy to use a comandlet to retrieve that information and monitor it.

You can use the Get-LogonStatistics cmdlet to retrieve logon information. This way you can view users or services currently connecting to your Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 servers. These logon stats include many other information such as user name, logon time, last access time, and client version. (you can have OWA, MAPI clients, other services, etc) using Exchange at a given time.

If you want to have a “figure” of the load you’re having, you can put this in a scheduled task and analyze the information later.

Note that ANY kind of monitoring either local or remote does input load on any resource. So do not “struggle” with your Exchange.

HTH
