I would monitoring the smart HDD-s on my Windows 7 clients.

I would to get the HDD smart attributes without using any vbs file or ready-made tool just looking towards WMI or PowerShell.

I would aggregate that data with ZABBIX monitoring server (use zabbix-sender.exe).

I found a more or less solution for Linux, but I would monitor windows 7 machines HDD.

Has anyone an idea?

Use the WMI API to access SMART data like so,

gwmi -namespace root\wmi -class MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus

There are more examples in the net.
