Alert: Logical Disk Free Space is Low

Issue: Low disk space on the drive identified in the alert.

Resolution: Can either free up disk space on the drive or configure an override for the drive to change the monitoring configurations for the drive. The overrides can be configured for the system drives or non-system drives. For this configuration there is a C drive, D drive and Q drive. The Q drive was critical, and free space could not be made available on the drive.

The only options available without modifications to the script (which are not viable in sealed management packs) are to set an override for non-system drives and set it to a level where the Q drive is no longer critical. This means that the levels for the D drive on the same system will not fire until it hits the new critical levels. The other option is to acknowledge the alert and not to resolve it at this point. The script which does this check is called FreeSpace.vbs and is automatically distributed into a temporary directory located under %ProgramFiles%\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Health Service State.

HOW-TO: You can create a dynamic group based on drive letter and other criteria as illustrated in this blog post:
