There's nothing built in to hobbit to check detailed information on

would just check if a port was listening, hobbit has the ability to pass
information across and check responses, so that extends it beyond just
"basic" availability in my mind, but to each his own.
You could easily write some scripts to check such things, and the BBWin
client might have some functionality (we don't use it at the moment), but
that's outside the realm of my experience with hobbit. Apologies for not
knowing it as well as I should on that end.
If you find anything that does check more in depth, that would be quite
interesting. I'm sure it's been done before.

The only way I can see this being done is via a vbscript, polling the Windows
Performance Libraries. I do not have access to an Exchange server, so I am
unsure that there are Exchange specific PerfLib objects, but knowing MS there
are.
I do the same thing for polling IIS for perf stats, so it would be possible I
think.
