If they're running NTFS on 9x machines, I doubt that it is supported.

I think that WMI is your friend. Here is a script from KiXomatic that could be adapted for your specific needs...

Code:

Break On
$strComputer = "."
$objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" + $strComputer + "\root\cimv2")
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk",,48)
For each $objItem in $colItems
"Access: " + $objItem.Access ?
"Availability: " + $objItem.Availability ?
"BlockSize: " + $objItem.BlockSize ?
"Caption: " + $objItem.Caption ?
"Compressed: " + $objItem.Compressed ?
"ConfigManagerErrorCode: " + $objItem.ConfigManagerErrorCode ?
"ConfigManagerUserConfig: " + $objItem.ConfigManagerUserConfig ?
"CreationClassName: " + $objItem.CreationClassName ?
"Description: " + $objItem.Description ?
"DeviceID: " + $objItem.DeviceID ?
"DriveType: " + $objItem.DriveType ?
"ErrorCleared: " + $objItem.ErrorCleared ?
"ErrorDescription: " + $objItem.ErrorDescription ?
"ErrorMethodology: " + $objItem.ErrorMethodology ?
"FileSystem: " + $objItem.FileSystem ?
"FreeSpace: " + $objItem.FreeSpace ?
"InstallDate: " + $objItem.InstallDate ?
"LastErrorCode: " + $objItem.LastErrorCode ?
"MaximumComponentLength: " + $objItem.MaximumComponentLength ?
"MediaType: " + $objItem.MediaType ?
"Name: " + $objItem.Name ?
"NumberOfBlocks: " + $objItem.NumberOfBlocks ?
"PNPDeviceID: " + $objItem.PNPDeviceID ?
"PowerManagementCapabilities: " + $objItem.PowerManagementCapabilities ?
"PowerManagementSupported: " + $objItem.PowerManagementSupported ?
"ProviderName: " + $objItem.ProviderName ?
"Purpose: " + $objItem.Purpose ?
"Size: " + $objItem.Size ?
"Status: " + $objItem.Status ?
"StatusInfo: " + $objItem.StatusInfo ?
"SupportsFileBasedCompression: " + $objItem.SupportsFileBasedCompression ?
"SystemCreationClassName: " + $objItem.SystemCreationClassName ?
"SystemName: " + $objItem.SystemName ?
"VolumeName: " + $objItem.VolumeName ?
"VolumeSerialNumber: " + $objItem.VolumeSerialNumber ?
?

Oh sorry ... Iīll tell you ...:

No Win9x-Machines, only WinNT-Line (NT4, 2000, XP)

You would have to install WMI on NT4-based machines, yes.

THis would be easy to convert:
Code:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set colDrives = objFSO.Drives
For Each objDrive in colDrives
Wscript.Echo "Available space: " & objDrive.AvailableSpace
Wscript.Echo "Drive letter: " & objDrive.DriveLetter
Wscript.Echo "Drive type: " & objDrive.DriveType
Wscript.Echo "File system: " & objDrive.FileSystem
Wscript.Echo "Free space: " & objDrive.FreeSpace
Wscript.Echo "Is ready: " & objDrive.IsReady
Wscript.Echo "Path: " & objDrive.Path
Wscript.Echo "Root folder: " & objDrive.RootFolder
Wscript.Echo "Serial number: " & objDrive.SerialNumber
Wscript.Echo "Share name: " & objDrive.ShareName
Wscript.Echo "Total size: " & objDrive.TotalSize
Wscript.Echo "Volume name: " & objDrive.VolumeName
Next

Hi,

the Script "FILESYS" you posted is not working correctly
on out Win2k-machines. It shows
"File system of drive C: is unknown" or
wrong: "File system of drive C: is NTFS"
while the Filesystem on the harddrive C: is FAT32 !!!

Why go through all of this when you can use -

WMIQUERY() UDF

and then.. querying:
Win32_LogicalDisk
FileSystem

Thanks!

Kent,
I'm guessing you missed this post.

Still don't know why FSO would not work for him.

I went back through and re-read it. I thought your response was most timely with the fso.

While the quote refers to WSH and NT4, I figured that you could read between the lines and assume that WMI would not be installed on those NT4 boxes.
