I am fairly new to Powershell scripting and I have a task that I need to achieve every week for a large list of clients.
I am looking at outputting the storage usage/capacity on each server.
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_logicaldisk -Filter "DriveType = '3'" |
Select-Object -Property DeviceID,
#{L='FreeSpaceGB';E={"{0:N2}" -f ($_.FreeSpace /1GB)}},
#{L="Capacity";E={"{0:N2}" -f ($_.Size/1GB)}}
The above code does what I want, however it outputs it like this:
DeviceID FreeSpaceGB Capacity
-------- ----------- --------
C: 74.91 231.72
I was hoping it to look more like:
C: 74.91GB/231.72GB
Is it possible to use Select-String to select the output of the above code, and then use that string to give the output I want?
You could use a format string to get your desired output:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_logicaldisk -Filter "DriveType = '3'" | ForEach-Object {
'{0} {1:N2}GB/{2:N2}GB' -f $_.DeviceId, ($_.FreeSpace /1GB),($_.Size/1GB)
}
Try this:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_logicaldisk -Filter "DriveType = '3'" | ForEach {
"$($_.DeviceId) $($_.FreeSpace / 1GB)GB/$($_.Size / 1GB)GB"
}

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -ComputerName (Get-Content "C:\Temp\Servers.txt") | Select-Object PSComputerName, DisplayName, StartName, PathName, StartMode| where DisplayName -Like "*xyz*" |Format-Table
I have till now managed to piece together the above to get the information I need from serveral servers, however now I want to format it so that I can collate information for each server in a format that I can display
for eg.
Server : ABC
RAM : 64 GB
Number of Processors : 8
Disk :
Table of disk Sizes Etc
Any pointers would be appreciated
With all these properties, you would get a nested object array, which probably is easiest to view in JSON format.
I have changed all Get-WmiObject into the newer and faster Get-CimInstance cmdlets below
$result = Get-Content "C:\Temp\Servers.txt" | ForEach-Object {
# create an ordered hashtable to store the results for each server
$pcinfo = [ordered]#{}
# System info
$data = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName $_
$pcinfo['Computer'] = $data.PSComputerName
$pcinfo['Memory (RAM in GB)'] = '{0:N2}' -f ($data.TotalPhysicalMemory / 1GB)
# OS info
$data = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName $_
$pcinfo['BuildNumber'] = $data.BuildNumber
$pcinfo['BuildType'] = $data.BuildType
$pcinfo['Caption'] = $data.Caption
$pcinfo['CodeSet'] = $data.CodeSet
$pcinfo['OSArchitecture'] = $data.OSArchitecture
$pcinfo['SystemDrive'] = $data.SystemDrive
$pcinfo['TotalVisibleMemorySize'] = $data.TotalVisibleMemorySize
$pcinfo['Version'] = $data.Version
# Product info (array of objects)
$pcinfo['Products'] = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Product -ComputerName $_ |
Select-Object Name, Version, Vendor, InstallDate
# Local fixed disk info (array of objects)
$pcinfo['FixedDrives'] = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName $_ -Filter 'DriveType=3' |
Sort-Object DeviceID |
Select-Object DriveType, DeviceID, VolumeName,
#{Name="Size";Expression={"{0:N2} GB" -f ($_.Size / 1GB)}},
#{Name="FreeSpace";Expression={"{0:N2} GB" -f ($_.FreeSpace / 1GB)}},
Compressed
# Services info (array of objects)
$pcinfo['Services'] = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Service -ComputerName $_ |
Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like '*Adobe*' } |
Select-Object DisplayName, StartName, PathName, StartMode
# convert the hashtable to PSObject and output
[PsCustomObject]$pcinfo
}
# output the whole structure as JSON for easier reading and optionally save it to file
$result | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 3 # | Set-Content -Path 'Path\To\Output.json' -Force
I found a script to check the available space on a remote computer. However I can't find how I can get the output in GB instead of B.
I don't know a lot about Powershell. Can somebody help me adjusting this code so I can see the available free disk space on a remote computer
$disk = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName STR3598C -Filter "DeviceID='C:'" | Select-Object Size,FreeSpace
$disk.Size
$disk.FreeSpace
A possible way to achieve this could be to use the following:
gwmi win32_logicaldisk -ComputerName STR3598C -Filter "DeviceID='C:'" | Format-Table DeviceId, MediaType, #{n="Size";e={[math]::Round($_.Size/1GB,2)}},#{n="FreeSpace";e={[math]::Round($_.FreeSpace/1GB,2)}}
Expected output:
DeviceId MediaType Size FreeSpace
-------- --------- ---- ---------
C: 12 215.52 111.1
Another way is to store the results in a variable (like with your code example) and format that for output to screen and/or save it in a CSV file:
$computer = 'STR3598C'
$disk = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName $computer -Filter "DeviceID='C:'" |
Select-Object #{Name = 'Computer'; Expression = {$_.PSComputerName}},
DeviceID, VolumeName,
#{Name = 'Size'; Expression = {'{0:N2}' -f ($_.Size / 1GB)}},
#{Name = 'FreeSpace'; Expression = {'{0:N2} GB' -f ($_.FreeSpace / 1GB)}}
# output on screen
$disk | Format-Table -AutoSize
# or save the output as CVS
$disk | Export-Csv -Path 'D:\disksize.csv' -NoTypeInformation
Output on screen
Computer DeviceID VolumeName Size FreeSpace
-------- -------- ---------- ---- ---------
STR3598C C: Systeem 232,79 GB 89,33 GB
This question already has an answer here:
Get WMI Data From Multiple Computers and Export to CSV
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
Am not able to convert PS output to CSV format using echo function. I need to collect hardware information about multiple servers and got this script from internet. I modified it to collect only the necessary information such as Computername,HDD space, CPU details and RAM.
Below is my code:
$ArrComputers = "PC17"
Clear-Host
foreach ($Computer in $ArrComputers) {
$computerSystemRam = Get-WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem -Computer $Computer |
select #{n="Ram";e={[math]::Round($_.TotalPhysicalMemory/1GB,2)}} |
FT -HideTableHeaders -AutoSize
$computerCPU = Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor -Computer $Computer |
select Name |
FT -HideTableHeaders
$computerCPUCores = Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor -Computer $Computer |
select NumberOfLogicalProcessors |
FT -HideTableHeaders -AutoSize
$computerC = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID= 'C:'" -ComputerName $Computer |
select #{n="Size";e={[math]::Round($_.Size/1GB,2)}} |
FT -HideTableHeaders -AutoSize
$computerD = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID= 'D:'" -ComputerName $Computer |
select #{n="Size";e={[math]::Round($_.Size/1GB,2)}} |
FT -HideTableHeaders -AutoSize
$computerE = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID= 'E:'" -ComputerName $Computer |
select #{n="Size";e={[math]::Round($_.Size/1GB,2)}} |
FT -HideTableHeaders -AutoSize
echo $computer,$computerC,$computerD,$computerE,$computerSystemRam,$computerCPU,$computerCPUCores
}
and my output is coming as
PC17
99.9
12
537.11
15.98
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 0 # 2.30GHz
12
What I need is to get this outputs as a comma separated value like below
PC17,99.9,12,537.11,15.98,Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 0 # 2.30GHz,12
so that I can open it in Excel. Please let me know what the problem here is? Or any other alternative solution to so as to get the output as .csv.
Remove the Format-Table, use ExpandProperty and choose the right property from the array,
Also, I used -f to format the csv, see the differences:
foreach ($Computer in $ArrComputers)
{
$computerSystemRam = get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem -Computer $Computer | select #{n="Ram";e={[math]::Round($_.TotalPhysicalMemory/1GB,2)}}
$computerCPU = get-wmiobject Win32_Processor -Computer $Computer | select -ExpandProperty Name
$computerCPUCores = get-wmiobject Win32_Processor -Computer $Computer | select -ExpandProperty NumberOfLogicalProcessors
$computerC = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID= 'C:'" -ComputerName $Computer | select #{n="Size";e={[math]::Round($_.Size/1GB,2)}}
$computerD = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID= 'D:'" -ComputerName $Computer | select #{n="Size";e={[math]::Round($_.Size/1GB,2)}}
$computerE = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DeviceID= 'E:'" -ComputerName $Computer | select #{n="Size";e={[math]::Round($_.Size/1GB,2)}}
"{0},{1},{2},{3},{4},{5},{6}" -f $computer,$computerC.Size,$computerD.Size,$computerE.Size,$computerSystemRam.Ram,$computerCPU,$computerCPUCores
}
How can I get a letter of first logical disk in PowerShell? I need to assign it to the variable.
So far I have:
$drive = Get-WmiObject -Class win32_volume
If you actually want logical disk information you should query win32_logicaldisk
Get-WmiObject win32_logicaldisk -filter "Drivetype=3"
3 being the Local Disk
If you only wanted the "first" you could pipe it into Select-Object
Get-WmiObject win32_logicaldisk -filter "Drivetype=3" | Select-Object -First 1
If you then still needed information from win32_volume you could do this
$firstDisk = Get-WmiObject win32_logicaldisk -filter "Drivetype=3" | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty caption
Get-WmiObject -Class win32_volume | Where-Object{$_.DriveLetter -eq $firstDisk}
Use this command:
Get-WmiObject win32_logicaldisk -ComputerName $pc -filter "Drivetype=3"
Depends what else you want to use it with of course, it should give you what you're looking for
Just for funs sake here is another proposal:
Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem | where {$_.Used -ne $null} | select -First 1
Matt´s answer is the way to go though
I am using following script to get disk space audit in our enterprise environment.
Everything works fine except that I don't know how to get those values presented in GB/MB.
Any idea?
$Computers = Get-Content -Path D:\DISKSPACE_audit\Servers.txt
Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName $Computers | Where-Object {
$_.DriveType -eq 3
} | Select-Object SystemName,DeviceID,FreeSpace,Size
Divide the value by 1GB (or 1MB):
$Computers = Get-Content "D:\DISKSPACE_audit\Servers.txt"
Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -Computer $Computers -Filter 'DriveType = 3' |
Select-Object SystemName, DeviceID,
#{n='FreeSpace';e={[int]($_.FreeSpace/1GB)}},
#{n='Size';e={[int]($_.Size/1GB)}}
