SCOM Alert vs Distributed application

[petebuk]

Hello IT Guru's,

 

I am looking to create a notification in SCOM 2007 for when all our Windows server reach 2GB low disk space. Would you have any guidance on how to do this, or suggest any resources to follow. I had pondered with the idea of creating a distributed application to show a diagram of all our Windows servers including file print, exchange, etc. and just show the logical disk for both system and non-system drives.

 

We have Windows Server 2003 and 2008, 2008 R2 in our environment.

 

I did find the below:

Anyone ever suggested something of this nature?

First, I would start with importing the Windows Server Management Pack from the System Center Marketplace (found here: http://systemcenter.pinpoint.microsoft.com/en-US/home). Specifically look for the Windows Server Operating System Monitoring Management Pack (here's the link: http://systemcenter.pinpoint.microsoft.com/en-US/applications/Windows-Server-Operating-System-Monitoring-Management-Pack-12884901987).

 

When you import this MP, there is a disk space Monitor that you can override to customize for your desired "Warning" and "Critical" levels for disk free space.
