PowerShell Script - CPU and Storage Details

Manually checking Storage consumption and CPU usage multiple time is very repetitive and boring task. Also if you want to check same details on remote servers then it will again consume lot of time. PowerShell help us to automate this process. We need to specify credentials, name of the server in the script and it will provide storage consumption and CPU utilization details.

PowerShell Script

$MyDir = Split-Path -Parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
[xml]$ConfigFile = Get-Content "$MyDir\Settings.xml"


function GetCPUStorageDetails($serverName)
{
    $Username = $ConfigFile.Settings.CredentialsSettings.Username;
    $Password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $ConfigFile.Settings.CredentialsSettings.Password -AsPlainText -Force   		
    $Cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $Username, $Password

     $cpuUsage = Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor -ComputerName $serverName -Credential $Cred
     Write-Host (“{0}%” -f $cpuUsage.LoadPercentage )

     $storageDetails = Get-WmiObject -Class win32_logicaldisk -ComputerName $serverName -Credential $Cred

      foreach ($storageDetail in $storageDetails) {
        #Device ID | FreeSpace
        Write-Host -NoNewline (“{0} {1}GB  ” -f  $storageDetail.DeviceId,([math]::Round($storageDetail.FreeSpace/1GB,2)) )   
     }

     Write-Host ""
}

GetCPUStorageDetails("ServerName")
