I went to the Microsoft Script Archive
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr....mspx?mfr=true
and coppied the code for "List Physical Disk Properties" to DiskProp.ps1.
When I run it "./diskprop" I get the following error.
---------------
Unexpected token '_' in expression or statement.
At H:\PowerShell\DiskProp.ps1:2 char:44
+ Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
---------------
First five lines of code are
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colDiskDrives = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_DiskDrive")

What's wrong?
Why can't I just copy the code and run it?



Thanks,
Ron.

I'm not sure where the contents of DiskProp.ps1 came from but it's not
from the web page that you cited. The code that you listed is visual
basic, not powershell... afaik PowerShell can't run Visual Basic code.
