Description

This is a simple powershell script that runs against servers checking their drive space and then outputs the results to a text file and emails it to you. You will need to create a .txt file with the names of the computers you’d like to get reports from. Call the .txt file serverlist.txt to match the script.

Source Code

function getDiskFreeSpace
{
Get-WmiObject Win32_Volume -computername $args -filter "drivetype = 3" |

Select-Object __SERVER, Name, @{Name="Size(GB)";Expression={"{0:N1}" -f($_.Capacity/1gb)}},@{Name="FreeSpace(GB)";Expression={"{0:N1}" -f($_.freespace/1gb)}},@{Name="FreeSpacePerCent";Expression={"{0:P0}" -f($_.freespace/$_.capacity)}} | 
Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.FreeSpacePerCent -lt 95} |
Sort-Object -property "FreeSpacePerCent" |
Format-Table 
}

ForEach($s in Get-Content c:\serverlist.txt)
{
getDiskFreeSpace $s | Out-file c:\diskFreeSpaceResults.txt -append
}

Send-MailMessage -to "Destination Email Address" -from "Source Email Address" -subject "Servers Disk Free Space Report" -Attachment "C:\diskFreeSpaceResults.txt" -SmtpServer "Mail Server Name w\ Full domain name" 

Clear-Content c:\diskFreeSpaceResults.txt

Huzzah! It’s always a good feeling when you get one done that’s for public consumption.

Great little script. I checked it out and it works as advertised. Only thing I noticed that I would love to see changed. I ran the script a few times and noticed that it appends the diskfreespaceresults.txt file rather than overwrites it. I would love to see it overwritten personally or have it delete the file after it emails it, either way. Just my 2 cents. Other that that it works great.

Works like a charm! Good job, bro. I like the email addition, personally.

Justin005, Thanks for pointing that out, I actually left out a line that removes the contents after the email is sent, to prevent it from holding on to old data. Deleting the file would work as well, I’m sure. :slight_smile:

Thanks for that! I didn’t want it as an attachment so I updated it to do this on the Send-MailMessage: -body $body Based on this: $body= (Get-Content “C:\diskFreeSpaceResults.txt” | out-string) That puts the results in the body of the email instead of an attachment. I’m going to work on the formatting next as its slightly out of alignment.
