Folder Sizes on Windows

Post by intelXIadmin »

I can't seem to find much about monitoring a particular folder on a Windows system, such as c:\work for size. Is there a simple method of doing this?

Regards,

Randy

oops, I just found out my users want more that just size warnings:

I need to know if a folder has increased by x megabytes in y time. So, if c:\work was 1500mb and 1 hr later it increases by 500mg then flag a critical or warning alert.

Regards,

Randy.

Well that won't do what you want then. Giving exchange a quick look over, I don't see anything that will do folder size delta for windows. You could make this store the results of the last check in a file and compare them, or rewrite the entire thing in powershell(my preference) and do it in a more sane manor to handle the deltas as well.
