Script to Gauge Size of Exchange 2010 Log Files

I know this is supposed to be a Lync blog, but since Lync depends on Exchange, I thought this might be pertinent. We had an issue at our company where the backups for Exchange weren't working properly and the log files weren't truncating as designed. We just had no convenient means of visability into the status of the the log files or their back ups. as a quick, down and dirty way to get a status on where the log files were, I whipped up the below powershell script. The script just pulls the size of the log file directories, the idea being that if any grows above the baseline size (in our case that was 10 GB), it should be apparent to us that there's an issue with log truncation. It uses Sysinternal's Disk Updater, du.exe to pull the stats from the volumes. it also sends an email to the appropriate DG for action, and just for some sort of audit trail, it writes the stats to the application event log. See the text below for the script. Use it at your own risk.
