Exchange Pack for Reporting Services

Is there any way to get data from a real install of Exchange into the
database for the Exchange Pack for Reporting Services, or is it just to look
at pretty reports that mean nothing to us?
Am I missing something here?
MichaelThe goal of the report packs is to show reports one might write using
reporting services. It is not necessarily to ship solutions that monitor
the specified application. This particular report pack contains a reference
to a tool from SSW for a product they support for extracting data about
exchange. This could be a start. Alternatively, you can use an ETL tool
such as DTS to do so, though I'm sure tools such as SSW Exchange Extraction
Service provide additional analytics.
