Join Don Jones for an in-depth discussion in this video Create a command, part of PowerShell 3.0 for Administrators.
- We're gonna, sort of, put our toe…into the water of PowerShell scripting right now.…And this is where we're going to let the console window go,…and move over to the PowerShell ISE,…simply because it makes it a little bit easier to edit…long blocks of text, and because our goal…here, it really is to make a script.…Now this is the default layout of the PowerShell ISE.…You can rearrange these little panes however you want to…by clicking in the little arrows.…I'm simply going to us switch over to a…full screen scripting window mode.…
I'm gonna bump up the font size just a little…to make it more visible, and you can do that…with the slider down in the lower right hand corner.…And now I'm going to put in a PowerShell command.…Get WMI object, we'll retrieve…the class for the win32 logical disk.…We will only get the ones that have…a drive type property of three,…because that represents a local hard drive.…And then we're going to get that from…the computer name, local host.…
We'll pipe that.…Now here's an interesting trick with PowerShell.…
