Powershell 3.0 : Alternative to "Get-Volume"
Solution 1
The WMI class Win32_Volume has the information you are looking for
Get-WMIObject -Class Win32_Volume | Select DriveLetter,FreeSpace,Capacity,DeviceID,Label
Which a little fancy footwork you can make the drive space properties looking a little more appealing.
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Volume |
Select DriveLetter,
@{Label="FreeSpace (In GB)";Expression={$_.Freespace/1gb}},
@{Label="Capacity (In GB)";Expression={$_.Capacity/1gb}},
DeviceID,Label |
Format-Table -AutoSize
Solution 2
Get-Volume is only in Powershell 4.
You can do this tho:
Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk | Select-Object DeviceID, Size, FreeSpace, VolumeName

I'm trying to get various properties for each hdd-volume on the computer.
I was using the cmdlet
get-volume
and then walking through it viaforeach
, but that cmdlet does not exist in Windows Server 2008. :(Does anybody know an alternative?
I just need the drive letter, objectId/guid, free space, total space, and the name of each volume.
