Great tool to have in your utility belt![/quote]:-P It sounds like you have done some work with it but I am not sure I agree with [i]cow[/i] simile. Admittedly it's hard for me to convey a fresh perspective because I started playing with PowerShell ~3 years ago and have never looked back. If I never write another Windows batch or VBScript file again it will be too soon. That said, I only got serious about learning it and applying it in a structured way within the last year or so. I am reading this book now:[u][url=http://www.amazon.com/Learn-Windows-PowerShell-Month-Lunches/dp/1617291080]Learn Windows PowerShell 3 in a Month of Lunches by Don Jones and Jeffrey Hicks (aka Professor PowerShell[/url][/u]I am about 1/3 of the way through and it has already filled in many knowledge gaps left around by learning on my own and through repurposing bits of scripts I found on the net. The book focuses on using PowerShell to accomplish real tasks right away rather than treating it as a scripting language you have to learn about from end-to-end before you can do anything useful. The other great thing it does is teach you how to fish, and what I mean by that is it teaches you how to use the help system built into PowerShell which is pretty robust and user-friendly such that once you learn it you can move around and pickup new things quite easily.The book does have a "system administrator" spin as that is its core audience but we can't kid ourselves, most DBAs have to wear that hat all too often so learning PowerShell through that lense is not a stretch at all. I am easily able to apply everything I have learned so far when using the SQL Server PowerShell provider.Sat, 26 Jan 2013 16:44:50 GMTopc.threeRE: getting total disk spacehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1409804-391-1.aspxCan't agree more opc.

I haven't used it since the SQL 2000 days and if what I am reading online is correct however it still does not report on mount points.[u][url=http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/301832/listing-mount-point-information-from-within-sql-server]http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/301832/listing-mount-point-information-from-within-sql-server[/url][/u]Personally I prefer to do this kind of work outside SQL Server, and have for quite a long time. With a single PowerShell script running on one my 'food court' database server I check available space on all the servers across my environment and store the results in a database. I could do alerting from there as well but I haven't had to. I try to leave that to monitoring tools like SCOM or SQLdm.Sat, 26 Jan 2013 11:50:12 GMTopc.threeRE: getting total disk spacehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1409804-391-1.aspxwhy cant we use "xp_fixeddrive" ?Sat, 26 Jan 2013 09:09:11 GMTBhuvneshRE: getting total disk spacehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1409804-391-1.aspx[quote][b]anthony.green (1/22/2013)[/b][hr]Powershell will probably be the best bet on that[code="other"]Get-WmiObject win32_logicaldisk | where-Object {$_.providername -like ''} | select deviceid, size[/code][/quote] Win32_LogicalDisk will work in most cases but know that it does not pickup mount points.
