Server 2016 Data De-duplication Report – Powershell

I put together this crude little script to send out a report on a  daily basis

it’s not that fancy but its functional 

I’m working on the second revision with an HTML body, lists of corrupted files, Resource usage, more features will be added as I dive further into Dedupe CMDlets.

Link to the Script – Dedupe_report.ps1

If you have any suggestions for improvements please comment and share with everyone
