Also, that is a Raid5 setup for the disks that are running at a 160%.

It's a physical disk counter. And, I started out sampling every 30 seconds but I don't see much difference in the numbers, between 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Now can you tell me if the number in the report is an average number?

I've got a counter log running that samples the server every 5 minutes for a 24 hour period. I'm asking if the number produced in the report is an average number. For example the % disk time number is 15.401. Does this mean the average amount of time the disk was busy over that 24 hour period was 15%? We have another server and the % disk time number is 160.234%. How could a number like that be produced? I thought that once it reached a 100% that's it. I'm using the Perfmon wizard that I downloaded off of MS's site to create the counter log.

I found this VB script code on Paul Sadowski's scripting page and it works for me. I put the file in the \Windows\System32 subdir and wrote a little batch file to start it with "cscript". I put the batch file in the "Run this Program" field under the Actions tab. Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message") objMessage.Subject = "Diskspace low on server" objMessage.From = "notifyadmin@domain.org" objMessage.To = "someone@domain.org" objMessage.TextBody = "Check disk space" '==This section provides the configuration information for the remote SMTP server. '==Normally you will only change the server name or IP. objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _ ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 'Name or IP of Remote SMTP Server objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _ ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "emailserver.domain.org" 'Server port (typically 25) objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item _ ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25 objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Update '==End remote SMTP server configuration section== objMessage.Send

I'm not saying that Blat don't work. I'm just saying I get the error message. I'll ask the email admin to look into relaying from the inside. Thanks for cluing me in on the meaning of the error msg. Don - the code you were gracious enough to send me. I tried it, and it creates a tmp file in c:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup\temp, but I don't receive it via email. Is there something else I need to do to have it emailed to me? And, on the telnet, I think I need to add a CR\LF at the end of the commands. It works as long as I can hit the <Enter Key> at the end of each command. But in the batch file I need to emulate hitting that <Enter Key>. Thanks

I tried using Blat, I get the message "Error: Server refused connection". I have another issue to work at the moment that's been given a higher priority. So it may be a day or two before I get back to this one. Thanks to both of you for the suggestions. I appreciate the help.

Don, many thanks for the code and the suggestion. I'll try this today.

Windows 2003 SP2. I want to setup a Performance Alert and email myself a message when the Alert is triggered. I'm asking for help with the command syntax. I know you can send an email from the command prompt, I haven't found out how it's done through googling so I'm posting up here. TIA
