2nd Next, to see if any drives are on the server, that are not being reported to that run. Also Prompts for server name.

$A = Read-Host "Enter ServerName to discover drive sizes and freespace"

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName "$A" |

Where-Object {$_.DriveType -eq 3} |

Select-Object DeviceID, Description,`

@{"Label"="DiskSize(GB)";"Expression"={"{0:N}" -f ($_.Size/1GB) -as [float]}}, `

@{"Label"="FreeSpace(GB)";"Expression"={"{0:N}" -f ($_.FreeSpace/1GB) -as [float]}} | FT -AutoSize

3rd script, now I want to get the IPconfig from script and get the DNS order.

$Computer = Read-Host Please Enter Host name

Get-WMIObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Computername $Computer | `

Where-Object {$_.IPEnabled -match "True"} | `

Select-Object -property DNSHostName,ServiceName,@{N="DNSServerSearchOrder";

E={"$($_.DNSServerSearchOrder)"}},

@{N='IPAddress';E={$_.IPAddress}},

@{N='DefaultIPGateway';E={$_.DefaultIPGateway}} | FT

4th - The last is a beautiful script for myself, as I define the c:\temp\services.txt services that I want to check per line in this text file, and make another in c:\temp\servers.txt, add all the servers to check, and this reports to screen, can out-grid or export, this just usually suffices for me.

$Machines = Get-Content -Path "c:\Temp\servers.txt"

$Services = Get-Content -Path "c:\Temp\services.txt"

foreach ($computer in $machines){

Write-host "Checking if service is running on $computer" -b "green" -foregroundcolor "red"

Get-Service -Displayname $Services -ComputerName "$computer"

}

The four above become a nice check on single servers, or the services check many, Make sure no spaces especially after last }.
