Need a utility to monitor the Exchange message store size and notify when it hits the 16gb limit

Hi,

try the scripts from Glen at http://gsexdev.blogspot.com/2004/12/listing-file-sizes-of-all-exchange.html


he has a script that outputs this:
Mailbox Store SG1 IS1 XXX31# Mailboxes: 3342 EDBSize(GB): 8.39 STMSize(GB): 1.19

Freespace on EDB Drive (N:) :161 GB Percent Left :81 %
Freespace on STM Drive (N:) :161 GB Percent Left :81 %

Mailbox Store SG1 IS1 XXX30# Mailboxes: 3359 EDBSize(GB): 8.94 STMSize(GB): 1.30

Freespace on EDB Drive (N:) :133 GB Percent Left :67 %
Freespace on STM Drive (N:) :133 GB Percent Left :67 %

Mailbox Store SG1 IS1 XXX32# Mailboxes: 3573 EDBSize(GB): 9.26 STMSize(GB): 1.37

Freespace on EDB Drive (N:) :135 GB Percent Left :68 %
Freespace on STM Drive (N:) :135 GB Percent Left :68 %


We use his script and send it to us daily by mail using a commandline mail utility called blat.exe (http://www.blat.net/)

best regards,

I've tried that script and can't get it to work as expected.

Also, we're looking for something that will alert us when action is needed, not something we have to examine daily.

Hi,

If you want active Monitoring, then install Microsoft Operations Manager with the Exchange Management Pack. If you cannot afford that solution, be happy with the script :)

You can also modify the script to read the value on an hourly bases and send you an email only if the value exceeds a certain value, let's say 15,9GB ...

By the way, did you now that Microsoft has increased that limit with Exchange Service Pack 2 to 75GB?

best regards,
Draak
