I have to check the available disk space on all our NT Servers every Week, and i can't be bothered walking round 30 servers, checking the properties on each one, plus load of them don't have monitors attached [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

There must be a utility that can check the drives in each server and report the free disk space for each one, does anyone know of one?

Thanks

Andy

yes.. have a list of servers??

did it yesterday...

David_Wallis

Const HARD_DISK = 3
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk Where DriveType = " & HARD_DISK & "")
For Each objDisk in colDisks
Wscript.Echo "Computer Name: "& vbTab & vbTab & strComputer
Wscript.Echo "DeviceID: "& vbTab & vbTab & objDisk.DeviceID
Wscript.Echo "Free Disk Space: "& vbTab & objDisk.FreeSpace
Next


write a routine to read list of servers from a file and then run that for each server and output to excel or txt file

Lost me with the VB There david

Means nothing to me really

I've got a few disks in each server too ...

Is there an easy way to list all the servers on my domain rather than type them all out>?

I've got dameware NT utilities, but i would still have to go through each server wouldn't i. I'm very lazy

in an ideal world what i'm after is something that will report every week in a txt or excel file or something, with a list of servers and their drives, and how much disk space free they have.

This would produce my ideal workload of nothing .. am i asking for the moon on a stick ??

snowcrash

Srvinfo reskit tool????
Useful little tool that you can launch from a command prompt on your machine as it accepts unc paths!!!

Sample output for you from one of our servers here: (Lists things like free disk space as well.You could be clever and pipe it out to Excel etc)

Drop me an email if you want a copy? (Only 24kb)

Good luck

We have a script which emails you with a diskspace report as a scheduled task - dead handy for lazy people like me. Email me (on my work address miles.atkinson@bakerhughes.com) for a copy.

Avi

Miles - that's just the ticket, superb

dsmith

An alternative route...

Get an Old PC.
Install Linux
Install Nagios
Write a very very small script to get the disk space via SNMP.
Configure "Warning" and "Critical" Thresholds.
It E-Mails you when the limits are breached.

Result : Even less work in the long run as you only need to read the mail if it says "Critical"

You could also monitor other useful stuff like CPU and Processes etc via SNMP and save yourself the bother of looking at those until you need to aswell
