Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 x64. I want to monitor for hard disk failures. I need something that send an email alert. It is a Dell machine but OMSA doesnt email alerts and OME cant go on a domain controller. Any ideas?

OMSA offers me the option to send emails (protocols, hardware, email, will ask you to configure smtp server settings if its not configured yet) also, OMSA generates events in the event log (system event log). you could generate emails by attaching a task to the event log if eg Source Server Administrator, Category Storage logs a warning or error
