[Neil Franken]

I was just testing that myself. Will merge this into the main file and
release a update during lunch.

One of our DBA's modified the script from

strOutput = strOutput &
CheckReverseValue(GetWMIPercent("Win32_PerfRawData_MSSQLSERVER_SQLServer
BufferManager","@","Buffercachehitratio","Buffercachehitratio_Base"),"Bu
ffer
Cache Hit Ratio",iBufferCacheHitRatioWarn, iBufferCacheHitRatioAlarm)

to

strOutput = strOutput &
CheckReverseValue(GetWMIValue("Win32_PerfFormattedData_MSSQLSERVER_SQLSe
rverBufferManager","@","Buffercachehitratio"),"Buffer
Cache Hit Ratio",iBufferCacheHitRatioWarn, iBufferCacheHitRatioAlarm)

For our SQL 2008 servers this seems to work fine.

Thanks again for sharing your work; looking forward to your asp.net
monitor.

Walter.
