Server Monitoring software
I'm looking for a simple tool which will monitor my server for diskspace and exchange service when down... Simple issues with great consequence
if possible to have it send me an text message on my cell phone, if not an email will do.

I have used IPsentry for over ten years. It can not only monitor and send you an alert, but it can take corrective action like attempt to restart a service. I depend on it, it is affordable, and doesn't take days and days to setup.
Forgot to add www.ipsentry.com
Solarwinds have great tools and most of them free. Exchange monitor is great and monitoring a lot of services not only HDD.

Nagios is a great project with plenty of plugins available. www.nagios.org
I use Spiceworks for our company. Not only monitors servers, but can also monitor and inventory other devices on the network. I find this really useful and its FREE. Worth a look.
I've used Power Admin Server Monitor in the past in for some critical servers, really easy to configure, pretty inexpensive for what it does. If that's all you need it for and scaleable if you need more.
Has a 30 day trial...

Best free solution with an active development community of plugins is nagios. Hands down.
