Servers Alive can work with 2 types of "external" checks, being an ERRORLEVEL based check and an COM based check.
I should be possible to create a VBS that is executed as external errorleve check and have the VBS return an errorlevel back to SA, SA can then based on the returned errorlevel give you an UP or DOWN. Using the errorlevel based check does mean that no "string" can be returned, only a number can be returned. If you would create a COM based check then your check can have a GUI for entering the data and it can also return string to SA, giving better feedback on why something gives an UP or DOWN.

From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jensen, Eric Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 8:46 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] WMI or VBscript checks Hello, I looked around on the forum and the mailing list archive and could not find an answer to this. How do I setup a check in Servers Alive that queries a WMI value on a remote computer? Or to run a vbscript that does the remote check and spits out a value. I need to make sure a remote server maintains a mapped drive and this is what the check is for.
