MORE INFORMATION ================ The number of Anonymous Users connected to the IS can be monitored by its own PerfMon counter. The following counter will give you this information: Object: MSExchangeIS Counter: Active Anonymous User Count. The Active User Count is the number of users that have displayed activity in the past 10 minutes. By default, if an Anonymous user is idle for 10 minutes, they will be disconnected from the IS. This value is configurable. To get the total number of Active Users connected to the IS, you must add the totals of these 2 counters together.
