Use this Knowledge Script to monitor disk quota status. You can set disk quotas to limit the amount of file server disk space for each user. And you can determine how much disk space can be used before a warning is generated. This value is called the warning level.
For example, if the quota limit is set to 10 MB and the warning level is set to 8 MB, a warning message is generated when a user consumes 8 or more megabytes on the file server. When the user reaches the 10 MB quota limit, the user may or may not be able to save any more files, depending on how disk quotas are configured.
This script raises an event if the specified number or percentage of users reaches the warning level or quota limit.
