Alert if certain file type exceed specified limit.

Hi there,

I have the following script that alerts me when my ost file reaches a certain size, set by what is in the script.

----------------------

Option Explicit
Dim FSO, File, strSize, strFile, alarmSize, WshShell, objshell, intMessage
' As scheduled scripts dont like arguments tell the script which file to check
strFile="C:\Documents and Settings\camjp5\My Documents\Exchange\outlook.ost"
' The size to check against in Megabytes
alarmSize=2

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set File = FSO.GetFile("C:\Documents and Settings\camjp5\My Documents\Exchange\outlook.ost")
strSize = File.Size\1024\1024
If strSize > alarmSize Then

Set objshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

intMessage = Msgbox("Attention: Your Mailbox size is " & strSize & "Mb. The recommended limit is " & alarmSize & " Mb." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "You should archive your email into Personal Folders. Archiving aviods Outlook to slow down and reduces the possiblity of currupting items in you mail folders." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "If you wish to follow instructions on how to archive your mail click Yes. Otherwise click No.", _
vbYesNo+48, "Microsoft Outlook")

If intMessage = vbYes Then
' Website or document that will host the relevant information
objShell.Run("URL or document path")
Else
Wscript.Quit
End If

End If
Set File = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing
Wscript.Quit(1)

----------------------

It works fine, but what I want it to do it to be able to run on multiple machines, so to have the script not be specific to my local documents, as we have profiles on our machines the path would differ from user to user, and the ost file name can also differ, depending on what they have saved it as.

Is there a way to just make it look for the file extension ".ost" in say 'C:\Documents and Settings' ?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Julian

if you have active directory you can create a gpo or link to the script via user account on logon...

not sure this will do it for you....but may give you an idea...

Thanks for that. Will play around and give it try
