This is perfect for finding culprit machines that are generating a lot of replication traffic if you are replicating over a WAN.</p> <p><a href="http://www.vmguru.com/index.php/articles-mainmenu-62/scripting/105-using-powershell-to-track-block-change-sizes-over-time">http://www.vmguru.com/index.php/articles-mainmenu-62/scripting/105-using-powershell-to-track-block-change-sizes-over-time</a></p> <p>If you have some disks on a virtual machine you don&rsquo;t want this script to capture then just set them as independent disks (so no snapshots can take place). This is handy if you have your windows page file on a separate disk that you don&rsquo;t want to be measured as a part of the CBT changes.</p>
