Thanks MAS EE MVE 
 
Can you please clarify. It is only connecting VERBOSE. Is that ok. This will only work when there is a queue right. 
 
give a warning. the names of some imported commands from the module 'tmp_npo44qgd.154' include unapproved verbs that might make them less discover-able. to find the commands with unimproved verbs, run the import module command again with the verbose parameter. for a list of approved verbs, type Get-verb 
 
i have attached error message 
 
Please note i am a beginner in powershell

You can try to use the below script which you can also customize it yourself: 
 

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-42481288-1">$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://YourExchangeServer.domain.com/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos
Import-PSSession $Session -AllowClobber
Import-Module ActiveDirectory -ErrorAction STOP

While ($true) {
	$Queue = Get-TransportServer |
		ForEach-Object {Get-Queue -Server $_} |
		Where-Object {($_.MessageCount -gt 0) -and ($_.Identity -notlike &quot;*\Poison&quot;) -and ($_.Identity -notlike&quot;*\Shadow\*&quot;)} |
		Select-Object Identity, Status, MessageCount, NextHopDomain
	$QueueLength = $Queue | Measure-Object MessageCount -Sum | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Sum
	&quot;[$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss')] Queues found: $($Queue.Count); messages: $($QueueLength).&quot; | Write-Host -ForegroundColor White
	$Subject = ''
	If ($QueueLength -gt 200) {
		$Subject = &quot;Attention Critical Exchange Queue Alert Total Message Queue $QueueLength&quot;
		$Color = 'Red'
	} ElseIf ($QueueLength -gt 100) {

		$Color = 'Yellow'
	} ElseIf ($QueueLength -gt 10) {
		$Subject = &quot;Attention Informational Exchange Queue Alert Total Message Queue $QueueLength&quot;
		$Color = 'White'
	}
	If ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($Subject)) {
		&quot;[$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss')] Exchange is pretty much idle ...&quot; | Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green
	} Else {

I advise you to review your threshold requirement. 10 mails is too low for any mail server. I will set alert, if anything goes about 150-200. Rest, you have tons of script or tools to get the alert. However, remember, if your Exchange server itself having issues, you won't get the alert. Better to use 3rd party tool to monitor your server.

<div>
what are some of the tools that can be used for this purpose?

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
