Disk usage report by email prog?

Does anybody know of a program that can be set to email me a disk usage report at regular intervals from a remote computer please? Something like this:

but for Windows (7)? If there's nothing then anything that can email me a directory/folder listing at a regular internal would suffice. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I was having a look at this Powershell script to get free space on each drive, and send the resulting HTML file as an email. It could stand some cleaning up, but it might be useful.

You could run it as a scheduled task -

If your Windows box is stopping you from running PS scripts - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176949.aspx

Edit: don't forget to replace the all caps params in my script with your own values. I tested this script with my gmail account.

thanks mate. I came across something about powershell and an application called DU.exe whilst googling. I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of either before. Must have another look at it (if I can find it!)

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but we use Monitis to monitor our servers daily....
