The purpose of this script is to monitor disk space on a list of servers. Right now, it uses a hard-coded 20% as the point at which to send the email (look for variable $thresholdspace in the code below). An enhancement could be to have different percents on each server. The script reads a file that has a list of servers to be monitored; it will check each disk on each of those servers.
BizTalk and other server level products can come to a screeching halt if there is not enough disk space on the servers.

# End of Script
Then create a wrapper .bat or .cmd file like this:
powershell -command "& 'I:\Scripts\DiskMonitor.ps1'" DiskMonitorComputerList.txt
Then you create a file called DiskMonitorComputerList.txt that contains a list of servers:
ServerName1 ServerName2 MachineName3
