Answer 1

Hi Paul,
Here is the changed script, which will also include the size for the Config DB.
Please let me know if it worked:
#Get SharePoint Content database sizes
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$date = Get-Date -Format "dd-MM-yyyy"
#Variables that you can change to fit your environment
$TXTFile = "D:\Reports\SPContentDatabase_$date.txt"
$SMTPServer = "yourmailserver"
$emailFrom = "[email protected]"
$emailTo = "[email protected]"
$subject = "Content & Config Database size reports"
$emailBody = "Daily/Weekly/Monthly report on Content & Config databases"
$webapps = Get-SPWebApplication
$configDB = Get-SPDatabase | ?{$_.Name -eq ((Get-SPFarm).Name)}
$ConfigDBSize = [Math]::Round(($configDB.disksizerequired/1GB),2)
Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value "Config Database size: $($ConfigDBSize)GB"
Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value ""
foreach($webapp in $webapps)
$ContentDatabases = $webapp.ContentDatabases
Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value "Content databases for $($webapp.url)"
foreach($ContentDatabase in $ContentDatabases)
$ContentDatabaseSize = [Math]::Round(($ContentDatabase.disksizerequired/1GB),2)
Add-Content -Path $TXTFile -Value "- $($ContentDatabase.Name): $($ContentDatabaseSize)GB"
if(!($SMTPServer) -OR !($emailFrom) -OR !($emailTo))
Write-Host "No e-mail being sent, if you do want to send an e-mail, please enter the values for the following variables: $SMTPServer, $emailFrom and $emailTo."
else
Send-MailMessage -SmtpServer $SMTPServer -From $emailFrom -To $emailTo -Subject $subject -Body $emailBody -Attachment $TXTFile
