Welcome to the awesome world of Powershell!

The original script generates a text file so you don’t need to worry about that. The $DriveSpace variable was just a suggestion to get the content into an email. If you run the original script do you have a text file in your user directory called “server disks yyyymmddhhmiss.txt”? I’ve retested the script and it works fine for me. Try the original script and check your user folder for the file.

About your last comment… I’m a total beginner to PS, so could you explain a bit on how to put that $DriveSpace variable into the script properly in order to output all the results into a text file? I’ve tried it myself a couple of times, but I’m not having a lot of luck. My text file generates, but ends up with just “server,deviceID,size,freespace,percentFree” in it.

Your assistance is much appreciated. Thanks!

I also write the output into a text file so you can read the contents of this into a variable with the Get-Content cmdlet. Something like this should do it…
$DriveSpace = Get-Content "$Env:USERPROFILE\server disks $datetime.txt";

This is almost exactly what I’m trying to do, except I need it to output the result of the script to the body of an email. I think what I need it to make the output into a variable I can call in the body of the email, in my example below I called it $DriveSpace.

$SmtpClient = new-object system.net.mail.smtpClient
$SmtpServer = “MAILSERVER”
$SmtpClient.host =
$SmtpServer

$From = “USER ”
$To = “ADDRESS@DOMAIN.COM”
$Title = “Email Title”
$Body = $DriveSpace
$msg.IsBodyHTML = $true
$SmtpClient.Send($from,$to,$title,$Body)

I’m pretty new to Powershell and this is my first attempt at scripting, any advice would be appreciated

thank you so much… really this command or why not tool is awsome!

Thanks
