OK I have written a vbscript which returns the folder size but it fails on certain directories (such as c:\wndows\) with a permissions error.

What user do these hostmonitor test run under on a remote machine ?

Will

thanks thought this may be the case.

I am trying to produce a test which will count the size of a selected number of files/folders and add the total size together.

I have used the file/folder size test in the past but this time the folders are not subfolders of each other.

Thanks

Will

Sorry you are rigt. I have just emailed the correct test,

The first one I emailed you should run at 9am each day but this one does not seem to run regularly either.

There is a piece of software running on the server which requires the z: drive to be mapped, it will not use UNC path.

If the Z: drive is not mapped the software generates a runtime error and crashes, I need to now if the z: drive exists and if it is not I can do some remedial action.

Will

Thanks.

Is it possible to run the service under the context of a particular user ?

I need to check the availability of a folder on a mapped network drive. I have to use a mapped network drive because this is the method that the software on the server which is causing the problem requires. I cannot use a UNC path. When I try and create a Folder/File availablility test I can only se...

Sorry my fault there was some incorrect port forwarding on one of the routers.

Email and screenshots coming through,

I am trying to check for the existence of the wait4sd file on a remote machine which is running the RMA.

Thanks

I am checking for C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG7\wait4sd The file DOES exist as I can see it in the directory when I go through Windows Explorer on the server but when I click on the browse button in Hostmonitor and try to locate it it does not show and host...

I have AVG Anti-Virus installed on a few servers which I am monitoring. When the AV requires the server to be rebooted it writes a file to a directory. It seems this file is 0 byes long and although it can be seen locally on the server using Windows Explorer the RMA is unable to detect it and does n...
