Re: How to find out all drives in NT2000 using command line? Thanks

[Frank Tsao, email is [EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I had talked to several people and found that dumpcfg utility would
generate the data I am looking for.

Thanks for all your help and effort.

Hi Frank,

There is no command that I can think of that does this; you'd have to write
a program or script to do it. Here are sample script and C++ program (they
both do the same thing). If these are useful, tailor as you wish.

Regards,

Andy


WMI SCRIPT

' ListDrives.vbs
' Invoke by running
'
'    cscript ListDrives.vbs
'
' from an OS command prompt.
strComputer = "."

set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
    & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

set disks = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")

for each objDisk in disks
   select case objDisk.DriveType
      case 0
         ' I would not normally expect to see this.
         Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " Unknown"
      case 1
         Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " Invalid root path"
      case 2
         Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " Removable"
      case 3
         Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " Fixed"
      case 4
         Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " Remote"
      case 5
         Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " CD-ROM"
      case 6
         Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " RAM disk"
      case Else
         ' I would not normally expect to see this.
         Wscript.Echo objDisk.DeviceID & " ??????"
   end select
next

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
