I'm trying to monitor the C:\\ drive if of several servers on my DMZ. I want to use a Template to do this so all of the servers have a consistent setup. However, I can't seem to get this to work. The default monitor is C:\\ and when I edit the template it shows C:\\ in the Directory to monitor field, however, when I go to each server that uses the template it shows up as \\\Servername1\\C$\\, \\\Servername2\\C$\\, etc. This tells me it's accessing the hidden share which I can't do without making the userid I'm using a member of the local administrators group (I do not want to do this. I've managed to get all of my other monitors working with a non-admin account...took a lot of research, and I don't want to make this user an admin). I've tried setting up a specific share of the C drive on a machine, for example, \\\server1\\cdrive, but if I edit the template and put in \\\server1\\cdrive, this specific entry propagates to ALL of the machines that use the template, which also won't work. For example, I look at Server2 and the Directory to monitor field shows as \\\server1\\cdrive. I tried using \\\%computername%\\cdrive and that doesn't work as well. Any way to do what I'm trying to do or do I have to give up on using a template and set each directory monitor up separately for each server. I can do this but it's not ideal since I wanted to keep all of them consistent in what files/folders I'm monitoring.
