Great thanks that works now - I'm having trouble getting sqlcmd to work correctly so I've started looking at BCP.exe

I've managed to rewrite your script so that my wmi results are output to a .xls file
Does anyone know the BCP command to get a local xls file loaded into a remote sql table?

I can manage to get the command working if I copy the data out of the .xls and into a .txt:

db = TEST
table = LogMemory
server = lonwintel01

This bcp command works for .txt file - does anyone know the correct switches for a .xls file:

bcp TEST..LogMemory in "c:\ps\scripts\import.txt" -S lonwintel01 -T

There are some extra returns in the code in the article. Try this instead (notice the line breaks are different):

param ( [string]$ComputerName = "." )

Get-WmiObject -computername "$ComputerName" Win32_LogicalDisk -filter "DriveType=3" |
foreach { add-member -in $_ -membertype noteproperty UsageDT $((Get-Date).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"))
add-member -in $_ -membertype noteproperty SizeGB $([math]::round(($_.Size/1GB),2))
add-member -in $_ -membertype noteproperty FreeGB $([math]::round(($_.FreeSpace/1GB),2))
add-member -in $_ -membertype noteproperty PercentFree $([math]::round((([float]$_.FreeSpace/[float]$_.Size) * 100),2)) -passThru } |
Select UsageDT, SystemName, DeviceID, VolumeName, SizeGB, FreeGB, PercentFree

In search of enlightenment, what should we be using as field separators?
