I am trying to run a vbs script on my SCE 2010 to monitor folder sizes. Script is from http://contoso.se/blog/?p=127 . For that purpose, I have set up a rule. However, I got the following error logged on to event viewer by SCE. Any idea appreciated? The Event Policy for the process started at 11:21:29 AM has detected errors in the output. The 'StdErr' policy expression: \a+ matched the following output: C:\Program Files\System Center Essentials\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 23\277315\GDriveUsage.vbs(8, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object required: 'ScriptContext' Command executed: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo "GDriveUsage.vbs" Working Directory: C:\Program Files\System Center Essentials\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 23\277315\ One or more workflows were affected by this.

Hi, I noticed this script is for Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 and it might not work properly in System Center Operations Manager 2007. For System Center Operations Manager 2007, I just got the following example about monitoring file count and I would like to share it with you for your reference. Hope this can give you some hints: SCOM 2007 Script to Monitor File Count inside a Directory http://www.scom2k7.com/scom-2007-script-to-monitor-file-count-inside-a-directory/ Please Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice.

Below scipt is to monitor folder sizes: 'On Error Resume Next Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim strFolder strFolder = "\\?\G:\" Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolder) Set colSubfolders = objFolder.Subfolders Dim oBag Set oAPI = CreateObject("MOM.ScriptAPI") Set oBag = oAPI.CreatePropertyBag() For Each objSubfolder in colSubfolders if StrComp(Right(objSubfolder.Path, 9), "~snapshot") then ' wscript.echo objSubfolder.Path Call oBag.AddValue(objSubfolder.Path, objSubfolder.Size/1024/1024) ' wscript.echo FormatNumber(objSubfolder.Size/1024/1024, 2) end if Next Call oAPI.Return(oBag) Please note that G drive is a mapped network drive, and also note that because of the long folder names on that network drive, I need to use UNC style addressing like \\?\G:\ instead of just "G:\" to bypass the limitation coming from MAX_PATH in Windows API. If I run this in cmd with "cscript" it just works fine. However, when I set it up as a script running rule in my SCE 2010, it still gives me the following error: Description: The Event Policy for the process started at 1:49:20 PM has detected errors in the output. The 'StdErr' policy expression: \a+ matched the following output: C:\Program Files\System Center Essentials\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 27\32743\GDriveUsage.vbs(5, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Path not found Command executed: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe" /nologo "GDriveUsage.vbs" Working Directory: C:\Program Files\System Center Essentials\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 27\32743\ One or more workflows were affected by this.

Hi, Thank you for your update. After researching, I would like to suggest the following: 1. Ensure there is no security software (anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) blocking the script on the target computer. 2. Check how it works if you monitor the UNC “\\computername\sharefolder” or the local drive. 3. Ensure the run as account has proper permission to access the mapped network drive. You can also try another account which has enough privileges: How Can I Use the RunAs Command to Run a Script Under Alternate User Credentials? http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2006/04/28/how-can-i-use-the-runas-command-to-run-a-script-under-alternate-user-credentials.aspx Using a specific account for specific scripts in SCOM 2007 http://www.cupfighter.net/index.php/2010/03/using-a-specific-account-for-specific-scripts-in-scom-2007/ Please Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice.

Hi Nicholas, I can run my vbs with strFolder = "\\?\G:\" (you can see the full script above) in CMD by calling cscript manually, and it completes just fine. However, it does not run in SCE 2010 as a script rule, and gives me path not found error. I checked the RunAs account, and it is nothing to do with it: all logs on the device is clear (no auth failure), and the default action acount in SCE has full permission on the drive by through its security group membership. Any other sugegstions?

As Nicholas says, you have to configure a run as account with permission to the shared folder and because G: doesn't exist in the environment where the script is executed by SCE (probably under user account SYSTEM by default) you also have to use a UNC path in the script to access the folder. / Svante
