The New-FsrmStorageReport cmdlet creates a storage report on the server.
A storage report job specifies a set of directories that the server analyzes to generate one or more report types that help you to better understand how storage is utilized in the specified directories.
You can configure report jobs to run according to a schedule or on demand.
Examples
Example 1: Create a large files storage report
# The first command gets a **DateTime** object and stores it in the $d variable.
PS C:\> $d = Get-Date "12:00am"
# This second command returns a **FsrmScheduledTask** object that describes a schedule that runs the task at midnight on the first day
# of the month. The command stores results in the $task variable.
PS C:\> $task = New-FsrmScheduledTask -Time $d -Monthly 1
# The third command creates a LargeFiles storage report named "Find large files" on C:\Shares.
# The command sets the schedule for the report stored in the $task variable, and limits the
# report to files larger than 10MB.
PS C:\> New-FsrmStorageReport -Name "Find large files" -Namespace @("C:\Shares") -Schedule $task -ReportType @("LargeFiles") -LargeFileMinimum 10MB
This example creates a LargeFiles storage report that the server runs monthly and restricts the report to files larger than 10MB.
Example 2: Create a large files storage report by using a namespace condition
# The first command gets a **DateTime** object and stores it in the $d variable.
PS C:\> $d = get-date "12:00am"
# This second command returns an **FsrmScheduledTask** object that describes a schedule
# that runs the task at midnight on the first day of the month. The command stores results in
# the $task variable.
PS C:\> $task = new-FsrmScheduledTask -Time $d -Monthly 1
# The third command creates a LargeFiles storage report named "Find large files" that generates a
# Large Files report on any folders whose Folder Usage property includes the User Data value.
# The command sets the schedule for the report stored in the $task variable.
PS C:\> New-FsrmStorageReport -Name "Find large files" -Namespace @("[FolderUsage=User Data]") -Schedule $task -ReportType @("LargeFiles")
This example creates a LargeFiles storage report that the server runs monthly and reports on any folders whose Folder Usage property includes the User Data value.
This example creates a LargeFiles storage report that the server runs monthly and restricts the report to files larger than 10MB.
Example 3: Create a storage report for files from a file group
# The first command gets a **DateTime** object and stores it in the $d variable.
PS C:\> $d = get-date "12:00am"
# This second command returns a **FsrmScheduledTask** object that describes a schedule that
# runs the task at midnight on the first day of the month. The command stores results in
# the $task variable.
PS C:\> $task = new-FsrmScheduledTask -Time $d -Monthly 1
# The third command creates a storage report named "Find large files" and file groups on th
# folder C:\Shares. The command sets the schedule for the report stored in the $task variable,
# set the report type to LargeFiles and a FilesByFileGroup, limits the report to files larger
# than 10MB, and restricts the FilesByFileGroup report to include only files from the
# "Text files file" group.
PS C:\> New-FsrmStorageReport -Name "Find large files and file groups" -Namespace @("C:\Shares") -Schedule $task -ReportType @("LargeFiles", "FilesByFileGroup") -LargeFileMinimum 10MB -FileGroupIncluded "Text files"
This example creates a storage report that the server runs monthly and generates a LargeFiles and a FilesByFileGroup report.
This command creates a storage report named "Find large files" that the server runs immediately.
The command creates a LargeFile storage report for the folder C:\Shares.
The LargeFile storage report is saved to the C:\StorageReports\Interactive folder
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.
