Monitor and Alert on the Windows System Volume Information folder

I have a windows administrator asking me to monitor and alert on the size of the Windows System Volume Information folder.

"The System Volume Information folder is a zone on your hard drive created by the Operating System and used by Windows for storing critical information related to the system configuration" Google*

I have a windows administrator asking me to monitor and alert on the size of the Windows System Volume Information folder. I already have volume alerts generating both proactive and reactive alerts to say when the C,D, E...drive is filling up. However, we had a drive filling up and it turns out that it was content in this System Volume Information folder that was culprit. So they want a seperate alert related to this folder that apparently exist on each drive.

TIA,

James Lindsay

Sounds like a SAM Script to check the size of the folder. The issue is that the System Volume Information folder isn't necessary accessible to most accounts - even some admin-level accounts. I don't have a handy test machine right now, but you may have to do this "the long way", meaning: find the size of all files on a drive that aren't in said folder and then substract that from the total volume size.
