Health Monitor for Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync?Cmd=Ping

Hi,

 

I need to create a health monitor for a pool for Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync?Cmd=Ping and it uses a username and password, wondering if someone can help point me to the direction on how to create this?

 

Thanks.

    Per Microsoft, these are the ports that Active sync uses (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259369)

     

    ActiveSync 4.x requires the following Winsock Transmission Control Protocols (TCP) to be available:•990 (RAPI) •999 (Status) •5721 (DTPT) •5678 (Legacy Replication) •5679 (Handshake & Legacy Replication) •26675 (Airsync) If socket port filtering occurs on any of these Winsock ports, ActiveSync does not synchronize with Microsoft Windows mobile devices.

     

    You will need to monitor all the ports.

    Thank you for your response. How does that translate in the creation of the health monitor?
