Query disk free space....

Hi,

I am a complete newbie to PShell. Anyway, is there a command that I can use
to query the free space of a disk by percentage and email a distribution list
if it below 10%?

Thanks,

that could be written though.

-You need to query remote computers also?
-Just a single email address or a collection?

Quering remote servers would be helpful.

The email would be to a distribution list. i.e. ITDept@xxxxxx

Hi TKE402,

You can query remote server disks using get-wmiObject cmdlet:

# replace <computerName> with the remote server name or ip
# replace <smtpServer> with the smtp server name or ip



$disks = get-wmiObject win32_logicaldisk -filter "DriveType=3" -computerName
<computerName> | where { (([long]$_.freespace/[long]$_.size)*100) -lt 10
} | select systemName, DeviceID

if($disks) {
$smtp = new-object system.net.mail.smtpClient(<smtpServer>)
$mail = new-object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$mail.from = "me@xxxxxx"
$mail.to.add("ITDept@xxxxxx")
$mail.subject = "Low disk space"
$mail.body = $disks
$smtp.send($mail)
}

Maybe there is an error with my word wrap or the way I'm cutting and pasting.
I am receivnig error that may be pertaining to syntax. Just to make sure, are
the two references to computer name correct?

-computerName
<computerName>

or do you just mean to have it there once?

Thanks,

You should be inserting whatever computer you want to query, like so,
for example:

-computerName server1.domain
