First create a function Get-DiskSpaceReport using the below code and do a function call. which is shown above

****************************************************************************

Function Get-DiskSpaceReport

{

param(

[String]$ComputerList,[int]$warning,[int]$critical,[String]$To,[String]$From,[string]$SMTPMail

)

$script:list = $ComputerList

$freeSpaceFileName = “C:\FreeSpace.htm”

if ($Warning -eq “$NULL”)

{

$Warning=25

}

if ($critical -eq “$NULL”)

{

$critical=15

}

$critical = $critical

$warning = $warning

New-Item -ItemType file $freeSpaceFileName -Force
