Exchange Load Generator 08.01.0177

A simulation tool to measure the impact of MAPI clients on Exchange servers Use Microsoft Exchange Load Generator (LoadGen) as a simulation tool to measure the impact of MAPI clients on Exchange servers.
LoadGen allows you to test how a server running Exchange responds to e-mail loads. To simulate the delivery of these messaging requests, you run LoadGen tests on client computers.
These tests send multiple messaging requests to the Exchange server, thereby causing a mail load. LoadGen is a useful software for administrators who are sizing servers and validating a deployment plan.
Specifically, LoadGen will help you determine if each of your servers can handle the load to which they are intended to carry. Another use for LoadGen is to help validate the overall solution.
Important LoadGen should be used only in laboratories that have no connection to the production environment. This tool should not be used in any way in a production environment or an environment that is mission critical or contains important information of any kind anywhere in the network.
Note If you intend to take advantage of the remote control functionality in this release of the LoadGen tool, you must manually copy the following files from your Exchange Server management tools installation directory to the LoadGen installation directory on each LoadGen client computer prior to running a LoadGen test: exchmem.dll, extrace.dll, exrpc32.dll, Microsoft.Exchange.Common.IL.dll, Microsoft.Exchange.Common.dll, Microsoft.Exchange.Core.Strings.dll, Microsoft.Exchange.Diagnostics.dll, Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Common.dll, Microsoft.Exchange.Rpc.dll, Microsoft.Exchange.Net.dll, Microsoft.Exchange.StoreProvider.dll.
Note If you use the recipient management features of this release to create users or other recipient objects and you have one or more Exchange Server 2007 servers in your test topology, you must run the Load Generator application with user credentials that have permission to manage Exchange recipients. The directory access account specified in the application configuration will not be used for recipient creation.
