Get-DiskSpace

My cheap and dirty PowerShell script for dumping the disk space usage for a Windows machine. It was originally some snippets I found on the Internet, which I threw into a script and made it my own.

It uses a simple WMI call to return a set of objects for you to use as you see fit. Most of the time I just pipe it to Format-Table to see the output, but it could be used for other things. Throw in a pipe to Where-Object and you could use it to monitor low disk space. Feel free to bind, spindle or mutilate as you see fit.

It has been tested on Windows 2003 and above. If you’re still using Windows 2000, I’m sorry. Good luck and have fun.
