Server reporting

[shibuyauk]

I have 9 Win 2003 servers on our domain, all providing a variety of roles in a very satisfactory way.
Unfortunalty a director is demading weekly statistics on every box to report on
"(including availability & bandwidth usage, disk space used/available, memory usage), IIS, SQL etc that will give us an indication about how things are performing)"

Is there any program or plug in i can procure to automatically give me weekly stats which i can then manipulate into a report?

Currently i am just monitoring perfmon.msc and manually checking disk space and memory useage.
I really dont have the time for this at the moment

Can anyone recomend anything on Win 2003 monitoring?

Thanks for reading

SolarWinds is a good choice.

For major in depth monitoring you can give MS Operations manager (MOM) a try.

Thanks for that, i can refine my request a little after a meeting with my director



As part of my company's strategy of laying off staff and giving me all the work for no more money. I have been given the task of reporting on our 2 web servers.
Unfortunatley i havent been given any brief on what should be in these reports, so i am guessing it should be Disk Space/usage, memory useage, processor useage and availability.

I could very easily just manually report on the disk space, but what about the others?
perfmon.msc gives me some wonderfull graphs, but i cant get it to give me a weekly breakdown of memory/disk and processor useage. Does anyone know how to acheive this?

Say a automated report over the last week that includes

Disk Capacity 160Gb
Free Space 55 Gb
Memory useage over 90% - 567 minutes
Processor use over 90% - 225 mintes
Availability - 100%

etc


Its difficult to get a handle on what i am supposed to be doing as i am dealing with an IT director who reads a headline in a magazine, and asks me do do "that". So sorry about the vagaries of my request
