This post explains how to monitor DiskSpace of a group of listed servers in a text file.
The function Get-DiskSpaceReport comprises of various cmdLets and function to monitor Disk Drives.
- Get-Win32LogicalDisks
- HTML Ouptut
- Email Address validation
You can customize it as per your requirement.The Function Get-DiskSpaceReport has six input parameters:-
- ComputerList – List of Servers – Path of a input file where servers are listed
- Warning – Warning Threshold – Default = 25%
- Critical – Critical Threshold – Default =15%
- SMTPMail – SMTP mail address
- FromID – Valid Email ID
- ToID – Valid Email ID
Example 1:- Execute with default threshold values. By default, the threshold are set to 25(Warning) and 15(Critical)
PS:\>Get-DiskSpaceReport -ComputerList c:\computer.txt -To pjayaram@Appvion.com -From pjayaram@appvion.com -SMTPMail qqma01.ppp.com
Example 2:- Customize the default threshold values.
PS:\>Get-DiskSpaceReport -ComputerList c:\computer.txt -warning 15 -critical 10 -To pjayaram@Appvion.com -From pjayaram@appvion.com -SMTPMail qqma01.ppp.com
First create a function Get-DiskSpaceReport using the below code and do a function call. which is shown above

Hi Prashant,
Thanks for your script, works great. I’ve been using it for a few months now for monitoring space on our Exchange servers and have now been asked to implement it for our SQL servers as well.
I am able to do this, however in the email report for the SQL servers the information in the Freespace field is misaligned. Nothing different has been done on this script other that changing the input parameters.
If it would help, I can send you a screen grab to show the issue I am having.
