I am looking for a software programs that will monitor disk space on an NT 4.0
Server. Once they have exceeded a 90% threshold it will send a message to all users that are attached to that sever stating that they are reaching disk capacity.
I tried doing this from performance monitor and sending an alert using net send command but the message crossed domains and other users in different domain received the message. This could work if I had the right syntax. Any Suggestions????

You can purchase a number of programs that will do this for you, using quota manager for NT might also be an option as once the user directories are full, they cant do anymore forcing them to clean up. http://www.softwareshelf.com/products/display.asp?p=29 A final but free option is to use WSH to use a VBS script that runs on a AT schedual. I will post a simple shell to get you started if your interested. Please email me and let me know. Dont reject this answer, I will add it on to this answer and then you can decide.

This help me also but it is very expensive.

I was able to use performance monitor and the net send statement.

If the NET SEND solution works for you, but you just need it to not cross domains, try syntax NET SEND /USERS to only send to users connected to tht server.

This helped me alot. I was able to use performance monitor and the net send statement to my users. Sorry it so long to rate your answer. I was out of town. I saved alot of money not having to buy a software program to do this.

Thanks :)
