Monitoring DFSR

I have developped the following batch file to monitor disk space utilization in a Windows 2003 R2 DFSR environment. I think it can also be used in a Windows 2008 R2 environment.

DFSR Staging folders and Conflict and Deleted Folders are monitored as well as disk space on concerned hard drives. DFSR hidden folder is the folder containing the SimilarityTable database, which could grow up under some circunstances.

You just have to replace hostname1 and hostname2 with the name of the members of your DFSR Replication Group. And replace also the location of
- DFSR hidden folder (which in my case is g$\system volume information\dfsr)
- DFSR conflictanddeleted folder (which is in my case g$\data_to_replicate\DfsrPrivate\ConflictAndDeleted)
- DFSR staging folder (which in my case is g$\data_to_replicate\DfsrPrivate\Staging)
The batch script must bu run from a third host with an account that has full privilege on DFSR members.

Here's the DOS batch file. Copy it to a text file and save it as monitor_dfsr.bat.
