Powershell Script to Monitor Disk Space

The script is used to monitor the disk space.

Put in the server details in a text file and place it under the same folder where the PowerShell script to monitor the disk space exist. Name the text file as "ServerList.txt"

The script triggers an alert email when the disk space is less than 30% of the original size and sends another email with the disk space details in attached CSV file. You can change the calculations which better suits your case.

 

Modify the From, to address and SMTP server details in the script.
