You will probably need to use a third-party product to do this. Here is the
article for setting up the alert with System Monitor:

299921 HOW TO: Add Error Logging for Low Disk Space in System Monitor in
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=299921

If you use System Monitor as described in the above article, you would need
to use a third-party utility to send email from a batch file. One example
could be mapisend.exe from the Exchange 2000 Resource Kit. There are also
some other third-party products that don't directly use System Monitor.
 
Hi,

Go to the systeminternals.com web site and dl the PSINFO tool.

You can build a bat file with a server name and args on this and it will
show the available disk space pipe this to a txt file ie psinfo \\server >
file_name.txt

Then, using your favorite language (I use Perl), to read the file and write
a new file (as desired with problem drives).

Then DL blat.exe and use it to mail the txt file (edited or the full) to
yourself.
