Disk Space Report - Reports only disks that are below a threshold - HTML output.

When the script is setup to run as a Scheduled Task on a Server 2008R2, it returns all columns empty, except the Freespace % column as NaN and in red. I don't see NaN in the code anywhere.

The script executes fine when run directly from the ps1 or when running from a batch that points to powershell.exe C:\CheckDiskSpace_post.ps1

What are the correct settings to have this run as a scheduled task on an hourly interval.  Thank you!

I found that to get the Task to run I need to place the location of files in the start in location for the Task.

Hey Mike,
Rookie to scripting, testing your script and got it to work great but after the last server on the list it comes up with error and repeats the disk space like 3 times

Hi,  I am a rookie at scripting, I have ran this script and it is great but I only need report for the C Drive on all my servers, How could I change this script to only display C Drive in the report?

Thanks In Advance

Hello,
thanks for this great script.
but I tested on several servers, most of them can't be shown all of their logical drivers from this script.

But if I just use:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DriveType = 3"
from powershell, it shows all of the logical drivers.

In plus, some of the commands in this script seem to be not compatible with windows server 2011 SBS.

Thank you again

Hi there..
I'm getting following error while sending mail:
Exception calling "Send" with "1" argument(s): "Failure sending mail."
At F:\OSR\ToolDev\DiskCleanupNewDev\DeleteOldFiles_Notification.ps1:44 char:13
+   $smtp.Send <<<< ($msg)
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException

My e-mail sending script is something like this. Am I missing anything here?

  Write-Host "Sending Email notification to $user" 
  $smtpServer = "smtprelay.xxxx.com:25" 
  $smtp = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer) 
  $cred = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential
  $cred.Domain = "xxxxx"
  $cred.Username = "xxxx"
  $cred.Password = "xxxx"
  $smtp.Credentials=$cred
  $msg = New-Object Net.Mail.MailMessage 
  $msg.From = "myfirstname.mylastname@mycompany.com" 
  $msg.To.Add("myfirstname.mylastname@mycompany.com")
  $msg.Body = "1"
  $smtp.Send($msg) 

Please help?

Hi there
This is a very nice script and exactly what I needed. However, we have a large number of Server VMs with swap drives stored on S: Drive. Is there a way to ignore this particular drive?
Thanks for your help.

Regards
Steve

Nice report  Mike. how  can  we run this  so  it  will get  trigger at the space level.

Can you explain further what you are asking?

Hi Mike,
I have run the Script on a Windows 2008 Server, but the HTML file is created ,but the report is Blank.

Regards
Balaji

GSenanayake,

The only way that I am aware of doing that is in Windows Server 2008 R2/Windows 7.  You have to set a trigger using scheduled tasks that detects when the disk space is low and then runs the report.

Balaji, you will most likely need to modify the following line to a folder that exists.    $reportPath = "D:\Jobs\DiskSpaceQuery\Reports\";

Balaji, 
The code is on the page has a smallest error. Mike forgot a } in the "# Set background color to Orange if just a warning 
 if($percentFree -lt $percentWarning)       
  { 
    $color = $orangeColor  #####Here##### put a }

This script is marvelous. Thanks, Mike!

Hello all,  I found this power shell script which works perfectly fine....here is the script...But how can i modify the script so this works on a clustered server....reason being....lets say i have a drive letter I:  But it only shows up about 1GB totaly capicity and used it 0.35G but when i go inside I drive it has more folder saying as data logs and they are mounted on a different disk....which dose not show up in the report ??? if you know what i mean...how can i over come this ??  looks like the I drive is logical and once we go inside I drive ...the data, logs folder is mounted on a different disk...which might be physical....
