Yes, Windows PowerShell is only installed by default on Windows 7 and 2008 Server R2. Although it is getting more and more popular and can be installed on XP and later machines, you might not want to assume that it is installed. Cmd.exe will be present on all systems. As an aside, if PowerShell is present, a real simple command to run to just see what drives are accessible (includes mapped drives) is: get-psdrive -PSProvider Filesystem . It is not as granular as WMI but does give you a quick and dirty way of seeing which drives are available on the local system.

Tim Medin gave me s slightly different version of this, which works: cmd /c for /F %i in ('WMIC logicaldisk where "DriveType=2" list brief ^| find ":"') do %i\myscript.bat Thanks, Adrian On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 1:00 PM, Norman Rach <lostpacket at live.com> wrote: Here's the powershell option: Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk | Where-Object {$_.drivetype -eq 2} | fl * If you know the VolumeSerialNumber, you can just alter the script: Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk | Where-Object {$_.VolumeSerialNumber -eq <whatever>} | fl * If you want to leverage the native os, there's vbscript. I'm a little rusty but it will probably look similar to this: Set objWMIService = GetObject ("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk where DriveType=2") Thanks! _____ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft's powerful SPAM protection.
