Monitor low disk space for computers

Question

Hi All,&nbsp;We have a requirement to monitor low disk space, particularly on devices with less than 1GB of available space. We were considering creating a custom compliance policy, but this would lead to blocking access to company resources as soon as the device becomes non-compliant. Therefore, we were wondering if there are any other automated methods we could use to monitor the logical disk space (primarily the C drive) using Intune or Microsoft Graph.&nbsp;Thanks in advance,Dilan

Hi,You could us a pro active remediation script that triggers on disk space that fall below 1GB. See more info here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/remediations&nbsp;As example a detection script for this scenario I asked ChatGPT to create (purely as example and needs to be checked and refined further):&nbsp;$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"

# Set the threshold (1 GB)
$thresholdGB = 1
$thresholdBytes = $thresholdGB * 1GB

# Get the free space on the C: drive (you can change this if needed)
$drive = Get-PSDrive -Name C

# Check if free space is below threshold
if ($drive.Free -lt $thresholdBytes) {
    # Return a failure exit code for Intune remediation
    Write-Host "Disk space is below 1 GB. Triggering remediation."
    exit 1
} else {
    # Disk space is sufficient
    Write-Host "Disk space is above the 1 GB threshold."
    exit 0
}&nbsp;You can trigger remediation script to perform something, not sure what you like to do but that should be a second script.&nbsp;Hope this helps.&nbsp;Regards,&nbsp;Sebastiaan
