Opsview Monitoring Platform

MWahl | October 15, 2010 | 7:17 pm

I have to say this is by far when one the BEST monitoring tools that i have used in a long time! They even have a free community version. There is an enterprise version which offers a bit more functionality over the free one. I have written an article about Nagios, which Opsview uses as the core engine.

Here is a link to the website

Windows Server 2003 R2 Distributed File System Diagnostics

MWahl | October 10, 2010 | 10:37 am

You may need to know if there are any files in the DFS backlog between two servers replicating data.

I simply use DFSRDIAG, just open a command prompt, and type

DFSRDIAG ?

this will give you all the available options for the utility.

To check the backlog type the entire command below.


C:\>DFSRDIAg backlog /rgname:TypeNameHere /rfname:TypeNameHere /sendingmember:ServerNameHere /receivingmember:ServerNameHere
