I am asking for some assistance from some PS experts. I have gotten as far as I can with this script. This has been working great for me and my team. I am noticing that if a PC has a single SSD/HDD then it reports everything well…if it has a couple disks…it shows both disks but only reports the C: drive diskspace…
If I could ask for some help in querying both disks (if found) and report the size and availability for each (again, if available)
If you want to report all disks available then replace:
$disk = ([wmi]"\\$Computer\root\cimv2:Win32_logicalDisk.DeviceID='c:'")
with this
foreach ($drive in $computerHDD)
{
$disk = ([wmi]"\\$Computer\root\cimv2:Win32_logicalDisk.DeviceID='$($drive.DeviceID)'")
write-host ""
# The rest of reporting code goes here
}
Although there is so much more to improve your script, for example Get-CimInstance instead of Get-WmiObject and Write-Information instead of Write-Host

Totally agreed … and to show you a little bit what it’s meant:
$Computer = $ENV:COMPUTERNAME
$CimSession = New-CimSession -ComputerName $Computer
$OS = Get-CimInstance -CimSession $CimSession -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem
$PC = Get-CimInstance -CimSession $CimSession -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem
$BIOS = Get-CimInstance -CimSession $CimSession -ClassName Win32_BIOS
$CPU = Get-CimInstance -CimSession $CimSession -ClassName Win32_Processor
[PSCustomObject]@{
OSCaption = $OS.Caption
OSVersion = $OS.Version
Model = $PC.Model
Manufacturer = $PC.Manufacturer
BIOS = $BIOS.SMBIOSBIOSVersion
CPU = $CPU.Name
}
I think that’s much easier to read an it should even run a little bit faster as you don’t have to create a new connection for each query. Instead you “re-use ” the same cim session for all queries.

Thank you for this tid-bit…I am trying to figure out and incorporate this into the script…
Querying my own local disks…
DeviceID : C:
DeviceID : D:
That does work a bit better and much easier…I’m going to have to play around with this to learn more…
Here is an example including suggestions from Olaf, and there is one “todo” within code for you to solve as well:
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string[]] $Domain = [System.Environment]::MachineName
)
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
$InformationPreference = "Continue"
foreach ($Computer in $Domain)
{
if (($Computer -ne [System.Environment]::MachineName) -and ($Computer -ne "localhost"))
{
$Cred = Get-Credential -Message "Credentials are required to acess '$Computer'"
$CimServer = New-CimSession -ComputerName $Computer -Credential $Cred
}
else
{
$CimServer = New-CimSession -ComputerName $Computer
}
$PSDefaultParameterValues["Get-CimInstance:CimSession"] = $CimServer
$System = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem
$BIOS = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_BIOS
$OS = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem
$CPU = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Processor
$Disk = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DriveType = 3"
$DiskType = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_diskdrive |
Where-Object Mediatype -EQ 'Fixed Hard disk media'
Remove-CimSession -CimSession $CimServer
Write-Information -MessageData "System info: $($System.Name)"
$Result = [PSCustomObject]@{
Model = $System.Model
SerialNumber = $BIOS.SerialNumber
BIOS = $BIOS.SMBIOSBIOSVersion
CPU = $CPU.Name
RAM = [string]::Format("{0:N2} GB", $System.TotalPhysicalMemory / 1GB)
System = $OS.Caption
ServicePack = "$($OS.Version) ($($OS.OSArchitecture))"
User = $System.UserName
LastReboot = [System.Convert]::ToDateTime($OS.LastBootUpTime)
# TODO: This should be part of second loop
DriveModel = $DiskType.Model
}
foreach ($Drive in $Disk)
{
$FreeSpace = @{
MemberType = "NoteProperty"
Name = "FreeSpace $($Drive.DeviceID)"
Value = [string]::Format("{0:N2} GB", $Drive.FreeSpace / 1GB)
Force = $true
}
$DiskSize = @{
MemberType = "NoteProperty"
Name = "DiskSize $($Drive.DeviceID)"
Value = [string]::Format("{0:N2} GB", $Drive.Size / 1GB)
Force = $true
}
$Result | Add-Member @FreeSpace
$Result | Add-Member @DiskSize
}
Write-Output $Result
}
