just tested this and it works. Granted, you will have to jump through the hoops of enabling PSRemoting.<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-39660736-1">$results = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computername -ScriptBlock {chkdsk c:}

$results</code></pre>
<br />
EDIT: Nevermind... this doesn't accomplish the Realtime monitoring that you requested<br />
EDIT: Double Nevermind... you weren't asking to do this on remote machines anyway.

Is it possible to echo out the result of a command to the screen and variable?<br />
<br />
What I want to do it run a chkdsk command, showing the user progress of the chkdsk but at the end storing the output result into a variable so I can email that variable along with other variables throughout the script?<br />
<br />
Thank you

Invoke-Expression to output and variable
