  I've configured a user defined data collector sets to try to alert when a performance alert has execeeded a certain threshold.

  I've created a command batch script (.bat file) to send email out when it happens.

  I've created a vbs to execute the command script .

  I've tested it manually by running it on command prompt and it executed as expected and i got the email notifications successfully.

  cscript c:\locations\Detecting_Drive_space_Alert.vbs

  the problem is when i try to put this on the DataCollector userdefine under Alert Task:

  For Run this task when an alert is triggerred:

  c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe

  For Task arguments:

  c:\locations\Detecting_Drive_space_Alert.vbs

  I started the user defined Data Collection task, and according to the event viewer, it did went beyond the threshold and therefore I should have gotten my email notifications as when i ran it manually. However, I never got the email and on top of it, the even viewer states error:

  It gives me this error: Alert Data Collector in Data Collector Set Space-Alert Failed to start task, error code is 0x8007007B.

  What am I missing?
