Windows Network Share File Copy Response Script
I created a script for a customer to measure the response time of SMB file share (Windows File Share) to test new network equipment. I thought that this script might be useful to someone in the community so I dressed it up a bit and created two versions of it. You can download the scripts in a MP form here.
The versions of the script are as follows:
- Single File Share - The script will copy the file to a single server share and log the response time. The script will log an event if it succeeds or fails.
- Multiple File Share - The script will copy a file to multiple servers with the same share. This script will also log an event if it succeeds or fails.
Both sample scripts listed above and included with rules in the MP as an example on how to use it. Included in the download is a readme file that explains the command line parameters.
I am fairly sure this can work in SCE but I haven’t tested it so I would really appreciate some feedback from anyone that tries it.
