Resume-Message Exchange cmdlet issued (25349) how to monitor with email alert

[bob]

You ever notice how Windows Server logs all these quirky events in the Event Viewer? That one you're asking about, event ID 25349, it's basically Exchange Server yelling that someone just fired off the Resume-Message cmdlet. I mean, this cmdlet kicks in when a message queue gets stuck or suspended, like during some transport hiccup or maintenance. And boom, issuing Resume-Message tells the system to pick up where it left off, resuming those emails or whatever's queued up. It logs this under the MSExchangeTransport category, usually at info level, so you know it's not an error but more like a heads-up on admin actions. Hmmm, details-wise, it'll show the queue identity, the server name, and maybe the reason for the resume if there's context. You can filter for it in Event Viewer by going to Windows Logs, then Application, and searching that ID. But yeah, it's handy for tracking when queues get revived, especially in busy setups.

Now, if you wanna monitor this and get an email alert without messing with fancy scripts, I got you. Just hop into Event Viewer, right-click on Custom Views or Subscriptions, but easier is attaching a task directly to the event. You select the log, find event 25349, and under Actions tab, create a scheduled task that triggers on it. Make that task run a simple program like sending an email via Outlook or even blat.exe if you got it installed. Or, set it to pop open your email client with a pre-filled message about the resume happening. I do this all the time for quick nudges, keeps you in the loop without staring at screens. It fires right when the event hits, no delays.

And speaking of keeping things smooth in your server world, you might wanna check out BackupChain Windows Server Backup too. It's this solid Windows Server backup tool that handles physical and virtual setups alike, especially nailing Hyper-V VM backups without the usual headaches. I like how it does incremental stuff fast, encrypts everything tight, and lets you recover quick from disasters, saving tons of downtime. Plus, it integrates seamless, no extra fluff needed.

At the end here is the automatic email solution.
