Hi All,Ihope someone ould help me - We have SCE 2007 implemented, but not we would like to use it to alert us on when a server or client PC run low on disk space, i.e. less than 15% free space left.My question is: How do you set up this rule and enable alerting (via email)?Thanks in advance.

Dit zou ik ook wel willen. freddie

Hi, It is possible for us to receive an e-mail alert when the disk space over a threshold. The detailed steps are as below: A. Steps to configure the Logical Disk Space monitoring: 1. In the SCE console, navigate to Authoring pane -> Management Pack Objects -> Monitors. 2. Choose Scope "Windows Server 2003 Logical Disk", and in the right pane, expand to Target: Windows Server 2003 Logical Disk -> Entity Health -> Availability -> Logical Disk Availability & Logical Disk Free Space. You can verify the properties. 3. Right-click on Logical Disk Free Space and choose Overrides -> Overrides the monitor -> For all objects for type: Windows Server 2003 Logical Disk. 4. Override the corresponding parameters to the value you want. For example, you can modify the Error % Threshold for System Drivers from 10 to 20. 5. Click Apply and OK. Note: These steps use Windows Server 2003 Operating System as an example. You should also repeat the steps for other Operating Systems, such as Windows XP, Windows 2000 server and etc, if you are supervising these machines. B. Steps to configure the E-mail Server: 1. Open the SCE Console and navigate to the Administration --> Settings node; 2. In the right panel, expand "Type: General" and right-click on Notification and select Properties 3. On the E-mail tab, select the Enable email notification check box. 4. Click Add to display the Add SMTP server dialog box. Type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server, type the port number, select the authentication method, and then click OK. 5. Enter the return address: <name@domain.com> and other parameters you want to specified. 6. Click Apply and OK. Note: These steps assume that the SMTP specified as the e-mail server, has been configured and is functioning normally. The SMTP server must also be able to locate and send to a valid mailbox on a mail server. For additional information about SMTP server, please click the link below.

Steps to add you e-mail address as a recipient: 1. Open the SCE Console and navigate to the Administration --> Notifications node. 2. Right-click Recipients and choose New Notification Recipient. 3. On the general tab, input the Notification recipient display name. 4. On the Notification Devices, start the Create Notification Device Wizard by clicking the Add button. 5. Expand the Notification channel drop-down list, and then click E-mail. 6. In the Delivery address for the selected channel box, type an e-mail address that receives the notification recipients. Click next to continue. 9. On the Schedule page, you can leave the default schedule and then click Next. 10. On the General page, type a name for this notification device, and then click Finish. 11. Click Add to define another notification device. Otherwise click OK. 12. The new recipient displays in the Recipients pane.

Hi Eric,Thanks for the reply - I have implemented the solution provided, but for some reason I dont get the alert whatsoever. I get all other alerts via email, and therefore email alerting is working, butI know server xxxxx had only 2% free space left.Any ideas why the alert is not triggered?Thanks

I am seeing this as well. The server runs out of disk space completely and reflects this in the SCE 2010 console, yet no alerts or warnings go off ever. I have tried rescanning the system and changing the thresholds. I would imagine that if SCE can see that the disk is below the threshold that it would error out.
