Windows 2012 R2 -- Hard Drive USAGE tracking ?
What Hard Drive Storage USAGE tracking software
do you recommend so I can find out which USER
keeps adding more to my file server's
shared E drive ?
http://windirstat.info shows some info,
but I would like something like the below
Everytime a file gets saved in the E:\Users
directory that is NEW or has grown over 100MB
since the original size, display a report like below
Date, LoginUser, Location, Growth
** 9/24/15 @ 9:20am, JohnDoe, E:\Users\JohnDoe\abc.doc, 150MB
** 9/25/15 @ 10:20am, BobSmith, E:\Users\BobSmith\123.xls,
** etc
==========================
Example
** 9/20/15 = 200GB free of 500GB total
** 9/30/15 = 150GB free of 500GB total
==========================
Below seems fine
** log files
** antivirus software
** Windows Updates & System Restore are disabled
** nothing new has been installed for 2+ years
** recycling bin is empty
** etc

I read https://redmondmag.com/articles/2014/09/25/file-server-resource-manager.aspx, but do not see a way to run the below report.
Any ideas ?
Date, LoginUser, Location, Growth since last save if over 100MB
** 9/24/15 @ 9:20am, JohnDoe, E:\Users\JohnDoe\abc.doc, 150MB
** 9/25/15 @ 10:20am, BobSmith, E:\Users\BobSmith\123.xls,
** etc

Can I also setup something like "anytime a user add over 1GB new files per day" I get an automatic email/etc so I can try to find out what they are doing ?
