Vista - Powershell Script to extract drive information

06-15-2008

Is there a one line script for extracting information from Server
Manager --> Storage --> Disk Managet?

Total space space remaining for example?

What about the native Windoows 2008 backup console information?

Thanks,

Don Murphy

Not sure if I follow. From the 2008 Server, you can do something like
this to get the freespace of a drive:

PS > get-wmiobject win32_logicaldisk|where {$_.drivetype -eq
"3"}|format-table -autosize deviceid,freespace,size

deviceid freespace size
-------- --------- ----

I'm not so familiar with 2008's backup features, but there are some
PowerShell cmdlets that offer some features that may help you out:
