[Xymon] Disk test in Windows appending a ' with a large number of disks

To add more information, this is 100% a client problem.  The bbwin client is crashing after the disks were added to the exchange server, which is causing the service test to turn purple on the xymon server.  There are 5 other exchange servers with the exact same configuration that aren't having a problem.  There's a warning that bbwin can't find a dll in the windows event log, but as I'm not a wintel admin here, I don’t have access to it.  If it's of interest to anyone, I can get it from them if necessary.  I suggested to the techs working the issue that they look into the xymonpsclient to see if it resolves the issue.

Thank you,

Al

Not sure what you mean by the '[df]' section of the client report?

It's running the .13 bbwin client.

Can you send the output of the '[df]' section of the client report for this server? Also, are you using BBWin or the PowerShell client?
