Disk Space Monitoring

disk-space-utilizationmonitoringwindows-server-2003

I have about 70 servers and I need to keep an eye on their disk space usage. I don't need the information to be real time. I was thinking of running a script daily or having a scheduled task run to collect the disk information and save it to a text file or something.

What would be the best way to do this?
How?

Have a look into WMI. You could write a script which uses WMI to monitor the disk space but there are also several programs which can do it.

Powershell – Printer monitoring script (PowerShell)

You probably do not want to try to grovel thru logs like a unix admin to try to get up to date on printer states. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to get notified of a printer event instead. The good news is that in windows there is. I'd first read this article: Notify with WMI. then take a look at Windows PowerShell 2.0 CTP2 WMI Event Monitoring

I tested this simple powershell script:

$query = "Select * From __InstanceCreationEvent within .1 Where TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_printjob'"
$action = write-host "Printed Document status" (gwmi win32_printjob).status ", time" (gwmi win32_printjob).timesubmitted
register-wmievent -query $query -action $action -sourceidentifier "printerwatcher"

You shuold get an output line when you print something
