Monitoring Exchange

Monitoring Exchange

 
I am testing the latest version and have a few questions in regards to monitoring Exchange 2003.
 
A credential is needed to monitor exchange.  How secure is it to use such an account with administrator rights?  For testing, I created a local admin account on that machine.
 
 
Also, would I be able to monitor a Mailbox Store if it is dismounted?
 
Thanks,
