Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Client out queue length	The number of messages sent by the Inetinfo.exe process that are in the queue.	Number	This queue size should be below 10 at all times. If the queue size exceeds 10, it is indicative of a bottleneck in the Inetinfo.exe process.
Exchange store out queue length	The number of messages sent by the Store.exe process that are in the queue.	Number	This queue size should be below 10 at all times. If the queue size exceeds 10, it is indicative of a bottleneck in the Store.exe process. Disk performance issues on the Exchange store may prevent the Store.exe process from effectively handling incoming requests.
