I’m still pretty new to powershell and practical implementations of it… but I created a script to monitor disk health and have some very bizarre results on 2012 R2. Wondering if anyone has seen the likes of this and/or has a solution… Or is it a bug?
The script in question is:
$OutputFile=$env:temp + "\~VMRepl-Status.txt"
get-vmreplication | Out-File -FilePath $OutputFile
measure-vmreplication | Out-File -FilePath $OutputFile -Append
Get-PhysicalDisk | Sort Size | FT FriendlyName, Size, MediaType, Manufacturer, Model, HealthStatus, OperationalStatus -AutoSize | Out-File -FilePath $OutputFile -Append
Get-PhysicalDisk | Get-StorageReliabilityCounter | ft deviceid, temperature, wear -AutoSize | Out-File -FilePath $OutputFile -Append
$body=(Get-Content $OutputFile | out-string)
Send-MailMessage -To [removed] -From [removed] -body $body -SmtpServer 10.24.42.45 -subject "Hyper-V Replica and Disk Disk Status"
I execute the above powershell script using a two line batch file:
@echo off Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File c:\Windows\scripts\DailyReplicaStatusUpdate.ps1
If I execute the powershell script from a command line or by right clicking and running as administrator, I get:

But if I initiate it from a scheduled task, I get:

I'd love to know how to get it to stop truncating the lines and allow me to get the actual health status - full text - without losing any other information along the way (I COULD drop the size or something else and shorten each line's length).
At the end of the day, the goal is to get the output like I get from running it on a command line rather than the output I'm getting when it runs via the Task Scheduler.
