Above is the alert description: percent free space is 40% in System Centre Essentials SP1. I would like to enlarge the database, how can i do that? I know the option of grooming in the administrative pane but grooming is set at 7 days, i would like to keep that. Maybe enlarging the database with 10 gb is a solution. The sql database is on the server as System Centre itself. freddie

Hi Freddie,Are you running SQL Server Express or full SQL?Thanks,Lee

It is, i believe, the full version with management studio etc. Version 2005. Version SQL Server 9.0.3054 freddie

Hi,If you have verified the SQL edition is full verison, you can try to following steps toenlarge DB initial size:1. Open SQL management console.2. Navigate OpsDW->properties->files. In right pane, you can enlarge DB size.HTH.Jie-Feng Ren - MSFT

The following is what i see where you are talking about: MOM-data data primairy 1000 10% unstricted growth etc (when i want to change the 1000 value it gives me 1.000) MOM log not applicble 500 10% stricted growth Which one to change? freddie

Hi,You can change MOM_DATA to enlarge DB size. HTH.Jie-Feng Ren - MSFT

I have enlarged the number bij MOM data. Changed it to 2.000. Now, a week later i get againt the error that the OPS DB free space low 39.95%. I don't have much extra things outside the standard things that i monitor. freddie

I still get the error: Ops db free space is low. How can i handle this? The setting in sqlstudio on Ooperationmanager DW is: MOM_data 20000 The setting is by 10% unlimited growth. I can't see the free space. If the size is at 40% of the free space how can i make this smaller so that theused space is less then 40% or enlarge the free space of the drive?or a database? freddie

I am getting the same error using the SQL Express Edition. How would I use the Management Studio Express to set these changes?
