Powershell script function for disk free

07 March,2019 by Tom Collins

Question: I'm currently building a script to return all SQL Servers in the environment . As part of the recordset I need to return the aggregated free space for the drives on the server. So for example , if these were the drive free space details for a specific servers

C:\ 52 GB free

E:\  7 GB free

F:\  9 GB free

G:\  5 GB free

than the figure to return is 73 GB   , 

I'd like this to be a Powershell function , so then I can reference it for any server, therefore the input parameter should be servername

Answer:Find a some Powershell code which should cover your requirements.

 

 

Function GetAggDiskFree([string]$server)
{

$computer = $server

    $disks = @(Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName $computer -Filter 'DriveType = 3')

    $TotalDiskFree = 0

    $disks | ForEach { $TotalDiskFree += $_.FreeSpace }

          
return $TotalDiskFree 
    
}
  

##example of how to execute

##GetAggDiskFree MY_SERVER1
