Win server 2008 low disk space email notif

windows-server-2008

I need to set email notification, when facing low disk space. But I need to set this warning on all partitions, not only on C:/.

I scheduled task on event with id 2013, log system, and source server. Will this email notification send mail only when C is low or it will mail a notification when the disk spave on any of the partitions is low?

If not, how to do that?

Best Answer

This event is generated for each partition individually.

By default, Event Viewer may report Event ID 2013 if a partition has 10 percent or less disk space available

Cannot backup databases from SQL Server 2008

First, this is really a standard SQL Server backup. TFS data is there, but that's not relevant.

Second, in SSMS, open your maintenance plan for editing. Make sure that you have logging enabled, and then run the plan. This will create text files in your /LOG folder under the SQL Server installation folder. Check that and it will have more details about what specifically is wrong. Post that and we can help you debug the issue.

How to disable ‘Low Disk space’ on Server 2008 and Hyper-V

Start regedit
Nagivate to this key:

 HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Add the DWORD value NoLowDiskSpaceChecks and set it to 1.

This is a user setting, so you'll have to possibly add it to the default user profile and any existing users you've created. That or create an administrative template and apply it at the Active Directory level.

I'm guessing this is not going to solve your guest os going into the pause-critical status. Something else is happening here that's doing this. Maybe the hyper-v guest os tools are doing this because it thinks the host is out of disk space? try uninstalling them?
