Drive letter from volume name

[j2mccluggage at adelphia.net (Jody & Jennifer McCluggage)]

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.

I can't be sure Powershell is on the 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

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!
