Administrator login nofitication

I want to be notified via email if someone logs in using the administrator account to either the server or exchange.   I don't want to parse logs.  I want it to be auto-magic...How can I set this up?

Windows Server 2008 with all patches and using Exchange 2008

Thanks in advance..

At some point a log or two may have to be parsed. This page covers a method using a login script

Just to be clear I want to trigger an email when someone uses the administrator "administrator" login not necessarily when someone logs in who is an administrator.
Right. Change the scope of the script to target the administrator account and not the domain admins group. You could obfuscate the administrator account for added security by renaming it to something else.
Could you post details on your comment?  I'm not sure I follow it completely.... also, thank you for your prompt reply to my query..
