[SOLVED] Testing HDDs on 100+ PCs > email results

[msatterlee]

I have a client with about 120 PCs. I'm trying to get a heads up on impending drive failures. I'm looking for a drive testing solution that would have the following features:

1. Able to run on an interval or could be launched from a command line so the interval could be setup in windows task scheduler.
2. Email failures or perhaps save them to a network share (emailing would be preferrable because I could roll out this to other clients who don't have servers)

I usually test drives with WD WinDLG, but doing that to 100+ computers on say a monthly basis would be a full time job.
