Disk Size Report of all SharePoint Databases using PowerShell into Mailbox

As an administrator You should always use to find the database size of all the SharePoint DB. Which I use to do with the PowerShell script, but lately I got pissed off doing this same activity everyday so I decided finally, write a PowerShell script and using a windows scheduler automate this. So now I will get all these details on my mail every morning when I come to office.

The script first section (1) is used to get information about the mail exchange.

The script second section (2) is, for-each loop which gets content database of all the web application. This then writes this information on to a file.

The script third Section (3) is, for-each loop which get all the SharePoint database size details which is also appended to the file.

Finally the fourth section (4) sends this information on a mail as an attachment.

The result of this code will be:

So the full code for download is :

#Get SharePoint Content database sizes Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue $date = Get-Date -Format "dd-mm-yyyy" #Variables that you can change to fit your environment $TXTFile = "C:\ContentDatabase_$date.txt" $SMTPServer = "yourmailserver" $emailFrom = "SharePointReports@company.com" $emailTo = "youradmin@company.com" $subject = "Content Database size reports" $emailBody = "Daily/Weekly/Monthly report on Content databases" $webapps = Get-SPWebApplication foreach($webapp in $webapps) { $ContentDatabases = $webapp.ContentDatabases Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value ""; Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value "----------------------------------------"; Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value "Content databases for $($webapp.url)" Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value "----------------------------------------"; Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value ""; foreach($ContentDatabase in $ContentDatabases) { $ContentDatabaseSize = [Math]::Round(($ContentDatabase.disksizerequired/1GB),2) Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value "- $($ContentDatabase.Name): $($ContentDatabaseSize)GB" } } $databases = Get-SPDatabase Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value ""; Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value "------------------------------------"; Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value "Content Size of Individual Databases"; Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value "------------------------------------"; Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value ""; foreach($database in $databases) { Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value " $($database.Name) ---- $($database.disksizerequired/1024/1024) MB" } if(!($SMTPServer) -OR !($emailFrom) -OR !($emailTo)) { Write-Host "No e-mail being sent, if you do want to send an e-mail, please enter the values for the following variables: $SMTPServer, $emailFrom and $emailTo." } else { Send-MailMessage -SmtpServer $SMTPServer -From $emailFrom -To $emailTo -Subject $subject -Body $emailBody -Attachment $TXTFile }
