We set up a quick script to check if C: drive space is low. If it is, we throw
an error into the Notification Center using this PowerShell:-
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
$objNotifyIcon = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
$objNotifyIcon.Icon = "C:\windows\system32\icon.ico"
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = "Error"
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "C: drive disk space is less than defined
threshold of 1GB. Please free up disk space or contact support."
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipTitle = "Machine check failure"
$objNotifyIcon.Visible = $True
$objNotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(10000)
This seems to work nicely:-

However, the drawback is that once the message disappears from the user's
screen, there is no way to view it in the Notification Center - it simply
disappears and leaves no trace.
Does anyone know how to make the message "stay" in the Notification Center
using a method like this, or should I just bite the bullet and write to the
event log through PowerShell? It would be so much nicer to have it in the
Notification Center until dismissed by the user...
