How to monitor free space on C: of Servers

[David Reed]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a way to monitor the hard drive space on the C: partition of
my Win2k Server (with AD installed). I need to do something 'free'. I need
some sort of alert, either an email via our Exchange 2000 Server, or a
message sent to my machine.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Posting this to all these groups is going to get you yelled at. Please post
to one or two on-topic groups. (At least you didn't multipost though. :])

for /f "tokens=3" %q in ('dir /-c /a:d C:\ ^|find "bytes free"') do (if %q
LSS 104857600 net send DAVID %computername% only has %q bytes free)

If my math is right, 104857600 is 100 MB. If you'd like a script in another
language or something beyond just a simple net send alert, try posting ONE
of the .scripting groups, such as microsoft.public.windows.server.scripting.

Hi Ray,

That's okay, I'm in the IT field. I'm used to being yelled at.

Thanks for your suggestion. I was wondering if there was any way to use a
performance alert or something like that to do it, so I could be notified
via email or a message sent to my machine.

Any thoughts on that?

Regards,

David
