VBScript ; Montior Exchange 2000/2003 Standard DB Size
Aimed at the SMB users running with the 16GB limit, this customisable vb script will warn you when the Microsoft Exchange Database size exceeds a certain size in GB.\r\n\r\nThe script could easily be modified for use with all versions of Exchange depending on what limit you’re worried about, be it software or hardware restricted.’, ‘Simply copy the following code into notepad and save it as a ‘.vbs’ file. The script needs to run from the mailserver itself, I run it as a scheduled task at start-up.
In order to avoid excessive notifications the script quits upon notification, you must re-run the script in order to continue monitoring.
You need to modify the areas highlighted in bold. I have configured the script to alert me via when the DB size reaches 15GB.
The script is called using a batch file which contains the following line:
cscript.exe c:\scripts\script_name.vbs
Dim fileSize, fileSize2, totalSize, checkFile, strComputer, objWMIService
Dim setFormat, MessageTitle, messageBody, SizeFormat
Set WshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
Set objNetwork = CreateObject(“Wscript.Network”)
Set fso = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
strComputer = “.”
Set objWMIService = GetObject(“winmgmts:” _
& “{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\” & _
strComputer & “\root\cimv2”)
Set colMonitoredEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _
(“SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE ” _
& “TargetInstance ISA ‘CIM_DataFile’ and ” _
& “TargetInstance.Name=’e:\\ExchangeDB\\MDBDATA\\priv1.edb'”)
Do
Set objLatestEvent = colMonitoredEvents.NextEvent
filesize = 0
filesize2 = 0
totalSize = 0
target = “e:\ExchangeDB\MDBDATA\priv1.stm”
Set checkFile = fso.GetFile(target)
fileSize = SetBytes(checkFile.size)
filesize2 = SetBytes(objLatestEvent.TargetInstance.FileSize)
totalSize = filesize + filesize2
Wscript.Echo “Exchange DB size is” & totalSize & SizeFormat
If (filesize + filesize2 ) > 15 Then
messageBody = “Danger Will Robinson! Exchange DB size at ” & totalSize & SizeFormat & vbCrlf & vbCrlf _
& “Please restart this script on the server.”
SendEmail()
WScript.Quit()
End If
