Alerts about disk space

I am a new admin as the old one has left.  He apparently set up alerts for low disk space on the exchange server.  I keep getting the alerts but the frequency at which they come is at an insanely fast pace.  I want to edit it but not sure
where.
How can i tell if this is a script or perfmon, etc?
thank you in advance.

Hi,
In addition to the above information,
Please check your exchange server for registry setting -
DiskSpaceThreshold value to confirm whether the email alert is triggered on event id - 2013 and to alter the percentage of free disk space available before an alert is logged.

  • Error in iMovie about Disk Space after upgrade

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. I created a movie in iMovie and when I tried to export it to YouTube, I got an error message about no disk space. I have over 700GB of space so I don't think that's the issue. I tried upgrading iMovie but it's asking for an old AppleID that no longer exists.
    So I have 2 problems:
    How can I upgrade iMovie when it's asking for a non-existant Apple ID?
    How can I fix the situation in the version of iMovie I'm currently running?
    PLEASE HELP!

    It sounds like Time Machine is turned ON and the computer is making backups to the hard disk.  This space is freed automatically, if required by the OS.

  • IDVD complaining about disk space (wants about 23458723094587235723945 GB)

    In a school lab situation, we have iMacs set up with Tiger server. Students log into server and have a quota of disk space for their working environment - I think it's 100 GB.
    They're creating short iMovie projects (about 2 - 4 minutes) and are required to submit them to their teachers on DVD.
    More often than not, when a student chooses the Share -> iDVD option, iDVD refuses to burn the DVD claiming that there's not enough room to build the disc. It says the disc will require several quintillion gigabytes (give or take) to render.
    Idunno... this is only a two or three minute video. I kinda doubt that's true!
    Anyone else seen this?

    Hi
    Most probably a pro issue - But I share my amateur thoughts (may be do not apply
    on Server/Net-work systems)
    iDVD
    Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named: com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.

  • SCOM alerts on disk space C drive only

    Hi,
    My goal is to write a runbook to monitor the SCOM alert on low disk space and then trigger a command to remove a pre-defined list of folders/files on C drive when the free space is below 10%
    On Monitor Alert activity, I have already applied 2 filters
    1. Name Contains Percentage Logic Disk Free Space is low
    2.  Severity Equals Warning (as it has been configured as 10% free space)
    How do I define the filters to trigger this runbook when these new alerts that only happens on C drive
    Thanks,
    Jimmy

    I have tried a filter with  MonitoringObjectDisplayName = C: and  MonitoringObjectDisplayName contains C:, that did not trigger the next activity although I can see that it passed the value of C: to both parameters.
    I am going to try the filter with "Description contains C:" as I did not see the option - "Start with"

  • IMovie is lying to me about disk space!

    Hi,
    Recently I tried to import a 1.53GB .mov file into an iMovie project.
    I currently have 12.7GB of free space on my HD, but when I tried to import the file, I am told there is not enough disk space! What is this lie and why is iMovie telling me it?
    So what can i do (short of moving files off my HD) to free up more disk space if it refuses to believe I have enough??
    Thanks
    James

    "..imported it using Windows Movie Maker (because there are no Mac drivers available.."
    You don't need any Mac drivers.
    All you do to import from the TRV 255E is to plug a 4-pin-to-6-pin FireWire (..Sony call it "i.Link", and it's also called "DV"..) cable into the camera, into the i.Link/DV socket, and plug the 6-pin end of the cable into your Mac. Your Mac - and iMovie - should instantly recognise the camcorder.
    Unlike using Windows, Macs will just have a look and see what's connected to them, and will adjust themselves to accept whatever's there (..without putting up a notice saying "New Hardware Detected - do you want to install this driver, or that driver, or what Windows thinks is most appropriate, or the driver you have on a disc?" etc, and then restarting, and then saying "New Hardware Detected - installing appropriate driver", and so on, and so forth).
    Forget drivers. You can import directly from your camcorder into iMovie just by connecting the camera to a Mac. All your conversions (..into Windows, into a DVD movie, etc..) have compressed the original material into an ineditable state. So it's had to be -e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d- again into an editable format for use with iMovie ..merely because you've gone all around the houses to get it into iMovie.
    A straight import into iMovie directly from the camcorder of a 33 minute movie would use up about 6.5GB of hard disc space (..or about 13GB per hour). The total space needed for a 45 min iMovie project would be roughly 9.75GB. That's if you'd imported directly from the camcorder.
    All this "in-betweening", though has meant that you've had to store the 1.3GB file, then you've needed 6.5GB space to expand it into, and you've needed, say, 13GB space to handle the intermediate unwrapping and temporary storage of the original while it's being converted into that 6.5GB editable version.
    If you still have the original material on miniDV tape - which you had before importing it into Windows Movie Maker - then buy or borrow a 4-pin-to-6-pin FireWire/DV/i.Link cable ..which looks like this:
    ..and throw away all the various bits of weird video which you've put on your Mac, and just connect the camera to the computer, open iMovie, and import the footage directly from the camcorder.
    (If you're in England, you can get one from PC World, Jessops, Dixons, Currys, etc, or any shop which sells electronic bits or camcorders.)
    You'll need 6.5GB of hard disc space to capture 33 mins' worth of video directly from the camcorder - that 1.3GB was severely compressed! - and you'll need about the same again of empty space for editing (..chopping and re-arranging..) the video, and you'll need to have some more empty space, equivalent to about 10% of your Mac's total hard disc space, to keep spare for your Mac to use for "housekeeping", note-taking, etc. (..So if your Mac has, for example, an 80GB hard disc in it, aim to keep at least 8GB empty, for the Mac's own use.)
    See how that works!

  • OCD about disk space

    Ok. I'm very ocd about my disk space. I keep track of everything. I'm also a video editor and music collector. This is a funny, 'cause those are the biggest files you can have.
    NOW, my Mac says that I've used 83.69gb of disk space with 27.78 left.
    I've look through the computer and can only account for roughly 60gb.
    I right clicked everything in my "macintosh hd" hard drive folder.
    I have 4.72gb of apps, 1.86gb of system info, 19.88gb of library, 34.63gb of user data, and 4k each for cache data and manuals.
    I'm still missing 20gb.
    I don't really know what to ask.
    How do I find that 20gb, or how do I get a detailed map of what my hard drive is holding.
    Please and thank you.

    Hi Valentine Moreau;
    May I suggest a little application that I find to be great when you are attempting to find out what is using up your disk sapce it is called WhatSize.

  • Q: How to properly shutdown part/all of VDI? and question about disk space

    Hi again. I was able to get the VDI to work, but yesterday I changed the ARC parameter both in the storage and the xvm server (not sure in which is needed to be changed) and restarted both machines, to my surprise, the templates and the cloned VM had disappeared, so I was wondering if there is a proper way to shut down parts or the whole VDI? is there a sequence? and, of course, how to then turn everything back online ...
    How to make things permanent or at least, to export them so one can then import them back after the reboot?
    I did not find this in the documentation, the vdi3.pdf, if it is somewhere else, plz provide me with the link.
    also...
    I was curious that I could not see the space being used in the storage server:
    root@australia:~# df -kl
    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    VDisksPool 202890010 19 202889991 1% /VDisks
    rpool 58603340 78 58603262 1% /rpool
    root@australia:~# ls -l /VDisks/
    total 0
    but acording to the VDI page, the storage is being used at 3%:
    Storage:
    Number of Storages: 1
    Total Capacity:200.32 GB
    Usage:3%
    how to check this? where is the space being used?
    thanks in advance

    If your database is the same version of mySQL on the MAMP as
    on the server,
    then you should be able to just export it from one and import
    it to the
    other. If not, you could try doing something similar to what
    I describe
    here:
    http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2009/01/lazy-loading-tree-example-file-posted.html
    in the steps that start: "Download the rtf translation of the

    I'm not sure, but I think you might wind up having to make
    some adjustments
    to it. For instance, is the user name and password identical
    on your server
    and your MAMP installation? If not, you'll have to edit some
    of the
    connection data.

    This may well be because the type of person who writes these

    unlikely to be using the automatically generated scripts.

  • Error About Disk Space When Syncing Photos to iPhone

    I just got my new iPhone 4 and have had trouble syncing photos to it. Close to completion I get the below error:
    "No photos were copied to the iPhone “__” because there is not enough free space on the iPhone to hold your photos and photo albums."
    As iTunes reports I have over 10 GB free on the device. Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

    I should note, I tried deleting the photo cache, rebuilding the iPhoto library, and turning off photo sync then syncing then turning it back on.

  • How to setup DISK SPACE alert on OEM 10g Grid Control...

    Gurus,
    I am trying to setup DISK SPACE notification / alert thru OEM 10g Grid Control, but so far no luck.
    Can someone help/guide me on how to achieve this?
    Please advice.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Kartik

    Those two links don't say anything about "DISK SPACE ALERT" I already know how to setup notification. I suppose you are talking about Filesystem Space Available (%)
    If you need to setup an alert (Notification) then i suppose you need to setup an notification rule.
    Yes, these notes do not have the key word "DISK SPACE ALERT" you are looking for, but if you go through the first note CLEARLY and COMPLETELY, you should find your answer.
    And he has given an example for Filesystem space available in this note, which is what you are looking for.(I think so)
    Say for Disk Space, you create a notification rule for target hosts and have metric "Filesystem Space Available (%)" defined in that rule.
    If you aren't talking about notifications and just want to setup an filesystem space available metic, then follow this note:

  • REFS, lost hard disk space after Windows defragmentation

    Hi,
    first some short information about the Server.
    Windows Server 2012 Datacenter
    OS disk = 60 GB SSD
    Physical raid Controller: Areca ARC-1261
    Raid  = Level 6
    Used Disks = 11 x 2TB + 1 hot spare
    File system = REFS
    Usable space = 16,3 TB
    Real used space (what the tools and folder properties counted) = 14,0 TB
    Used space (what i see in the computer overview) = 15,4 TB
    Unknown space what I could see with disk scan tool (or the tools calculated) = 1,4 TB
    So here what you could quickly see that i've got a "little" problem with wasted/unknown space....
    How the Problem originated:
    The system drive is a SSD, after running this Server about 150 days and unnecessary little Windows problems i remembered the garbage collector for SSD (TRIM).
    So i wanted to schedule with "Defragment and Optimize Drives" an automatic job for cleaning the drive.
    My problem was, that I couldn't deselect the big raid volume, but i gave it a try an scheduled weekly the optimization.
    Next day i got some alerts "low disk space warnings", i've lost about 1 TB of disk space but could not explain how I could lost this amount of space.
    After starting a resizing of the raid, i counted with file property the real used space and could not explain the shown size in the overview.
    What I've tried to fix this problem:
    First of all, a lot of google....
    Shadow copy: checked, fully cleaned, disabled = nothing just a few GB.
    Backup: checked, fully cleaned, disabled = nothing, but ran under an extra disk but... could never know what's wrong
    Folder options: enabled this far that i could see system protected files and default hidden
    Safe boot = tried a safe boot (some solutions for different user in the web) = nothing could not see more or less
    O & O Defrag (latest server edition) = didn't support REFS
    last of it, new clean installation of windows
    My Questions:
    Is defragmentation on refs possible/useful or is it just an bug with that  "Defragment and Optimize Drives" tool?
    Are the any information's about fixing troubles on REFS or commands on PS oder cmd? (could not find anything on google)
    I've got some books for WS2012 and e-books but there are no helpful information's about REFS.
    I know this is a big text block, but i wanted to show you detailed the problem and my attempts to solve this problem. 
     I hope you could help me or show me new ways to solve this problem.
    Tanks in future....!

    ReFS formats by default to 64KB block sizes (shows up in Disk Management as "Allocation Unit Size" when you go try formatting).
    NTFS formats by default to 4 KB block sizes and up to 64KB.
    If you have 1 file that is 4KB in size, and you use ReFS (default block size), it's going to occupy the entire 64KB.  That is true of NTFS if you choose to format in 64KB (required for SQL and Hyper-V VHD's and VHDX's).
    If your files are smaller than 64K, then stick with NTFS.
    Yong Rhee [MSFT]
    That is true for the defaults for ReFS but its possible to use a smaller allocation size using the options. Unfortunately most never think to do that.

  • How much disk space does a typical system start up disk use?

    I am trying to partition a 640 GB hard drive for my 17" MacBook Pro. I created a partition of 30GB for the "System Start Up Disk", and after installing the original Tiger OSX software, and then doing the Leopard Upgrade Install, It says that I am out of disk space on that partition.
    Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
    How about disk space for Applications?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Why do you want to partition that disk?
    Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
    When not booted from that drive (meaning, I believe, that it's not allocating swap or page space) my OS X 10.5 system uses 68.4 GB, including 10 GB for applications, 2.5 GB for the Developer folder, and 25.5 GB for user folders.

  • Insufficient disk space when opening Aperture library in iPhoto

    I just created a fresh library with 3000 photos (6GB) in Aperture. I then tried to open that library using iPhoto by holding down the Option key on launch but got an alert: "Insufficient Disk Space: There is not enough free space on the disk that contains this library to upgrade it. It is estimated that you need at least 6GB of free space."
    OK, I only have 4GB of free space on my HD. But why would iPhoto need to upgrade the library to begin with? I'm using the latest version of both Aperture (3.5.1) and iPhoto (9.5.1) and I thought they use the exact same library. And even if iPhoto needs to upgrade the library, why would it need an extra 6GB when the Aperture library is only 6GB? If opening the library in iPhoto results in increasing the library size from 6GB to 12GB, I'd rather not do it. Am I missing something?

And even if iPhoto needs to upgrade the library, why would it need an extra 6GB when the Aperture library is only 6GB?
    iPhoto and Aperture are using the same library, but Aperture has preference settings, that prevent previews or faces from being created. If you open an Aperture library in iPhoto, the library size may increase, since iPhoto may be creating files, that Aperture did not create.  Probably iPhoto's estimated was too pessimistic, but opening an Aperture library can increase the library size.
    But photograhis is right. You should not be running any applications at all, if you do not have at least 20GBof free disk space.

  • Insufficient Disk Space Messages !!

    On opening iMovie HD 5.02 I get a warning about disk space running dangerously low. I then try to add a title or effect a simple transition between two clips of a very short (10 min) series of imported clips and am told that I do not have enough remaining disk space for that operation. In fact I have 100 GB of free disk space. Advice please.

    On opening iMovie HD 5.02 I get a warning about disk space running dangerously low.
    That is the drive/partition where you saved your iMovie project when you created it. It doesn't matter how many gigs you have free on any other drive/partition.
