Vista - Free Disk Space

I haven't used Powershell before and I am new to scripting.

I need to run a scrip to report available free disk space on 20 plus Servers.
Is this possible with Powershell and how hard is it to create?



Thank you in advance

It's easy enough... :-)

Essentially, you're going to use WMI to get the disk space. You have
more options for dealing with the list of servers.

Let's say you've got a file called servers.txt which has a server name
per line...

foreach ($server in (get-content servers.txt)) {
$server
get-wmiobject win32_LogicalDisk -computername $server -filter
"DriveType=3" |
format-table DeviceID,Freespace -autosize
}

This picks each server name out of the file and uses it in a script
block which:
Displays the server name
Gets the local logical hard drives (drivetype 3) using WMI and pipes
it to
Format-table to output the freespace

If you want to test it out without hitting your servers, or don't have
a file, you can stick an array of computer names in the foreach like:
foreach ($server in "localhost",".")

The freespace is in bytes, so you probably want to format the output a
bit better with something like this:
format-table DeviceID,@{Label="Gb Free(Approx.)";Expression={[int]
($_.Freespace/1GB)}} -autosize}

I wrote a blog post a while ago which checks disk space for all the
machines in an OU, which you may wish to check out at

Pat,

I have created a script that you will like that will gather what you want
and more. If you are interested shoot me an email and I will give it to you
and explain it. I would post it here but it will look very ugly.
