Error 2013 - Disk Is At Or Near Capacity

MORE INFORMATION

By design the event is logged once per drive per occurrence. Therefore, if the free space of drive C dips below the threshold, an alert is logged. Another alert for drive C may not be logged unless the free space goes above the threshold and then dips back down again or the server is restarted.

You can change the DiskSpaceThreshold value to alter the percentage of free disk space available before an alert is logged. The registry parameter is defined as follows:

   Value: DiskSpaceThreshold     REG_DWORD
   Range: 0 to 99 percent
   Default: 10 percent
   Description: Specifies the percentage of free disk space remaining
                before an alert is sent.
				

To modify the DiskSpaceThreshold value, perform the following steps:

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

                       \LanmanServer
                            \Parameters
