Hi

I'm trying to setup Hard Drive Storage Space Monitoring with SCOM 2007. At the moment I've managed to setup some kind of monitoring but I'm running into problems. I've created a procedure and I'll upload it to this post. I setup drive monitoring by creating a simple threshold and I also borrowed some code from the  Logical Disk Free Space monitor from the Windows Server 2003 Operating System Management Pack. I created a number of monitors to monitor a number of difference partitions on my production servers. For example I setup a monitor to monitor 1GB on C: partitions on all production Servers. The problem I'm getting now is duplicate alerts in other words if threshold drops below 1GB that's fine and I get the alert message. However I also getting a couple of other messages stating that the E and F drives has dropped below 1GB! . When I digg further into the alert I see that it's really just another alert for the C: partition!

The disk $Target/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.LogicalDevice"]/DeviceID$ on computer $Target/Host/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/PrincipalName$ is running out of disk space. The values that exceeded the threshold are $Data/Context/Property[@Name='PctFree']$% free space and $Data/Context/Property[@Name='MBFree']$ free Mbytes.
