Since few days I was facing a problem that some of the servers were short of free space due to disk full.

I was looking for quick & simple way to monitor free space on server. I found some sripts on internet & modified it to suit my requirement .

Below script connects to all listed servers using WMI query , creates a report on c:\ . It can also email the report if you want.

How to use this script ?

• Copy below code in notepad 
• List names of computers / server in arrServers .
• Set flag for email true / false & settings for email server
• Save file as HDDSpaceCheck.vbs file. 
• Double click vbs file . It shall show report in minute or so depending on number of servers.
• You can use windows scheduled task to schedule this activity & get email notification .
