Understanding the server performance report 
 
The Microsoft® Windows® Small Business Server 2003 server performance report gives you a quick view of the overall health of the server and the issues that need attention. The report contains status information about services that are not running, performance counters data, and critical events that are being logged. It is created automatically based upon choices you make when you run the Monitoring Configuration Wizard. 
 
After running the Monitoring Configuration Wizard, performance data is collected hourly at 15 minutes before the top of the hour and is stored in a database. Whenever the performance report is generated or accessed, the latest information is pulled from the database and displayed in the report. 
 
To enable and configure report preferences or other monitoring features, run the Monitoring Configuration Wizard by clicking Configure Monitoring in the To Do List, or by clicking Set Up Monitoring Reports and Alerts in the Monitoring and Reporting snap-in in Server Management. For more information, see Using the Monitoring Configuration Wizard. 
 
Viewing the report 
 
After completing the Monitoring Configuration Wizard, you can view the server performance report in the following ways: 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Click Monitoring and Reporting in Server Management. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Click View a server performance report from the Remote Web Workplace. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Receive the report in e-mail. 
 
Only members of the Domain Admins security group have permission to view the report online. If you select the Receive a daily performance report in e-mail check box on the Reporting Options page of the Monitoring Configuration Wizard, the server performance report will automatically be sent to specified e-mail recipients each day at 07:00 A.M. 
 
Customizing the report 
 
After completing the Monitoring Configuration Wizard, you can make changes to default report settings by clicking Change Server Status Report Settings in the Monitoring and Reporting snap-in in Server Management. After clicking this task and selecting the report you want to modify, you can: 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Specify e-mail recipients for a report. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Attach log files to a report sent in e-mail. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Add log files to the list of available logs. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Change the time that reports are scheduled to be sent to e-mail recipients. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Immediately send a report to an e-mail recipient. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Create a new report with a different set of configured options. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Remove existing reports. 
 
For information about how to attach log files to a server performance or usage report sent in e-mail, or add other log files to the list of available files, see Attach log files to performance or usage reports. 
 
Notes 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; Log files can be very large. Take this into consideration when deciding to attach a log file to a server performance or usage report. If the compressed size of log file attachments exceeds 5 megabytes (MB), the attachment will not be sent. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; As a security measure, some e-mail clients such as Outlook Express block receipt of .cab files and other file types by default. If you have configured Windows Small Business Server 2003 to attach log files to server performance or usage reports, but you are unable to open or receive them as expected, see your e-mail client software documentation to determine how to enable receipt of those files.

Thanks for your response but the text does not contain any information on how to omit log on failures from the security alert section. &nbsp;I've done it years ago under group policy but I just cannot recall exactly which section (s) were amended to &quot;success&quot; audit only. 
</div>

<div>
Got it! &nbsp;I remember now. 
 
Thanks.

I'm getting large numbers of failed logons in daily reports. &nbsp;I recall that this alert can be altered to &quot;success&quot; only in Group Policy but it's so long since I used 2003 SBS that I've totally forgotten how to do that correctly. &nbsp;Can someone remind me?

2003 SBS performance report

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
