Vista - WMI

Hi all,
sorry for my bad Englisch. I have basic questation about powershell and wmi.
I want get instaces for win32_shares class . try:

$mc = new-object system.management.managementclass("win32_shares")
$mc. getinstances()
but command return error . Use powershell framework classes , and how I call
correctly getinstances ?

thanx
marek

To get anything WMI in the Powershell, simply
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_BIOS

See this article. It explains it all for you.


To get the instances, simply say;
$disk= WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk "Drive Letter Size GB "
foreach ($drive in $disk ) {"Drive = " + $drive.Name}

Cheers

L

Thanx for answer.
And if I use create wmi class with preview email , where is error ?

I am not quite sure what you are asking - but there is no wmi class
called win32_shares. There _is_ a win32_share class, as shown here:


PSH [D:\foo]: gwmi win32_share

Name Path
Description
---- ----
-----------
E$ E:\
Default share
IPC$
Remote IPC
D$ D:\
Default share
ADMIN$ C:\WINDOWS
Remote Admin
C$ C:\
Default share


PSH [D:\foo]: (gwmi win32_share).count
5

PSH [D:\foo]: Get-Wmiobject -class win32_ntshare
Get-WmiObject : Invalid class
At line:1 char:14
+ Get-Wmiobject <<<< -class win32_ntshare

The correct class name is win32_share, as in:


PSH [D:\foo]: Get-Wmiobject -class win32_share

Name Path Description
---- ---- -----------
E$ E:\ Default share
IPC$ Remote IPC
D$ D:\ Default share
ADMIN$ C:\WINDOWS Remote Admin
C$ C:\ Default share
