You mean you want to know what the minimum space requirement is before the Exchange services shut down, like the Exchange 5.5 MTA shuts down where there's 10MB or less disk space? I don't know what they are for Exchange 2000. :-(

I provided a solution that will prevent that from happening in the future. You didn't say that you didn't require help with the badmail directory, so I didn't know you'd already fixed that. So what you want is this? Free Disk Space To ensure that enough disk space is available to use virtual memory and store application data after an application is closed, use the server's Monitoring tab to add performance limits. When the amount of available memory falls below a specified limit, the free disk space monitor is identified on the Monitoring tab with a warning or critical state icon. You can set a limit for a warning or a critical state, or you can set both limits. To set limits for free disk space: If you have not already done so, select an Exchange 2000 Server monitor for Free Disk Space, and then click OK. In Disk Space Thresholds, in Drive to be monitored, select an available drive. To set a warning state threshold, select the Warning state (MB) check box, and then type a number in MB that identifies the smallest amount of disk space on which your server should operate before a warning icon appears. To set a critical state limit, select the Critical state (MB) check box, and then type a number in MB that identifies the smallest amount of disk space on which your server should operate before a critical state icon appears. Note If you also set a warning state limit, the value for the critical state limit must be less than the warning state limit. If you want to monitor multiple hard disks on your server, repeat these steps to add a monitor for free disk space for each drive. Tip To view the current amount of free disk space, on the Monitoring tab, click the Free Disk Space monitor you just created, and then check the display in Current available drive space (MB). Combined with this? Exchange 2000 Monitors The Monitoring tab is available on every computer running Exchange 2000 Server. This tab allows you to define the parameters within which your server's hardware and software should function before a warning or critical state icon is displayed; for example, if your server has a 10 GB hard drive dedicated to Exchange, make sure that databases and logs have no less than 10 GB of memory to use. Once resource monitor thresholds are met or exceeded, the monitor displays a warning icon on the Monitoring tab and in the Status window. Regular maintenance should include checking the Status window and the Monitoring tab of each server to see whether resources are low and additional resources, such as memory, are required to ensure server operation. To monitor a server: Start System Manager: On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager. Cannot Start the Application You can manually start the application by following these instructions: On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager. In the console tree, double-click Servers, right-click a server, and then click Properties. Click the Monitoring tab. To monitor a new server resource, click Add. Select one of the following resources, and then click OK: Virtual Memory CPU Utlization Free Disk Space SMTP Queue Growth Windows 2000 Service X.400 Queue Growth Related Topics Verify Server and Connector Status Ben Winzenz Network Engineer Gardner & White (317) 581-1580 ext 418 -----Original Message----- From: Ali Wilkes (IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 1:43 PM Posted To: Exchange (Swynk) Conversation: Disk Space Threshold Subject: RE: Disk Space Threshold Ben, please actually *read* my e-mail. Anyone? It wasn't in the Monitoring and Status in ESM. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Winzenz Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 10:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Disk Space Threshold You'd be better off simply creating a batch file to empty the contents of the badmail directory and scheduling that batch job to run a couple times a week (or more if you want). There is nothing useful in that directory. It is just where mail that cannot be delivered gets put.

The BadMail directory filled up yesterday and the server stopped delivering messages. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv (that part is solved, no comments needed please. heh.) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [Note: here is the actual question I asked:] Where do I find the threshold setting for disk space for e2k? i.e. At what point does it stop delivering\receiving mail, and how do I find that (not change it, just find it).
