Question

Windows storage sense space cleared on every Run

Singh Amarjeet I 1

Do we have any options to fetch spaces cleared and last run time by storage sense apart from going to Windows settings and looking as we need to capture these details for group of machines (More than 100K count).

Hello

In addition to using "windows settings" to control most functions of storage awareness, you can also flexibly manage the same settings through the group policy editor, which can be configured by referring to this document:

Hi @Wesley Li-MSFT

Thanks for sharing the information. this speaks all about configuring the storage sense via GPO which is already been aware. However, we are looking out for some information on how to fetch out storage sense cleaned up space on domain machines where we need to validate how much space was cleared in last run by storage sense.

If we do have any such path or registry on local machine this information will be helpful for analyzing the capabilities. thanks.

Hi

You can also take a look at this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\StorageSense

I am looking on information how we can get the space cleared by storage sense on machine - i can check for individual machine by opening system settings however we are looking for updates how we can fetch this information for Bulk machines.

Scripts may be required to obtain Windows storage awareness information in batches.

You can refer to the following document: https://www.cyberdrain.com/monitoring-with-powershell-monitoring-storage-sense-settings/
