From Svendsen Tech PowerShell Wiki

Featured here is a "Get-MountPointData" cmdlet, that retrieves free/used space on mount points on a local or remote Windows server. It displays information about all mount points that are listed in the Win32_MountPoint WMI class (which includes "regular" drives, but they're filtered out by default), and combines it with the information about size and used space in the Win32_Volume WMI class, based on the device ID (formats are slightly different, so a conversion is made).

In the latest version, v1.2 as of 2015-03-01, it also maps the physical disk index to the mount points and/or drive letters. This is not at all trivial, and a PowerShell solution didn't exist in an easily accessible, public form until this early March / late February 2015 weekend. Read more in the "change log" in the downloads section.

This has a few side-effects, such as filtering out the default "System Reserved" partition entry (introduced in Win 7 / Server 2008 R2, I think) that's listed if you only look at the Win32_Volume class and filter on something like the DriveLetter property not being set.

It uses WMI against remote computers with the -ComputerName parameter. Specify the name "localhost" for data about the local host. You can specify multiple servers separated by commas. I'll look into writing a CIM version.

I also added a parameter called -IncludeRootDrives which allows you to look at regular disk drive letters on the desired servers as well, in the same way.

The parameter -IncludeDiskInfo (v1.2+) requires PSRemoting to work.

Output is by default sorted on free available space in percent, then descendingly on drive size (if the percentage is exactly the same), then by the label property and finally by caption.

I implemented it as functions, but didn't package it as a module. You can dot-source the ps1 file you download to get the functions in the currently available scope, or put it in your PowerShell profile. It is also possible to name the file Get-MountPointData.psm1 and put it in a subfolder of one of your $env:PSModulePath folders; if so, you would later import it with Import-Module, or have it autoloaded with PSv3 and up. You can also import it from a relative path with Import-Module.

The script is written so it's fairly easy to add other properties that you might want to list.

Download

Get-MountPointData2.ps1.txt v1.2 . Right-click and save. Recommended version . It has the -IncludeDiskInfo parameter. Requires an elevated console.

. Right-click and save. . It has the -IncludeDiskInfo parameter. Requires an elevated console. Get-MountPointData.ps1.txt v1.1. Right click and save. PSv2-compatible. No -IncludeDiskInfo parameter.

2015-03-01: Quickly spun around and added -Credential support for the Invoke-Command that's used when you supply the -IncludeDiskInfo parameter. The rest is WMI. I should look into a CIM version.

2015-03-01: New version that also supports listing disk index for the physical disk a mount point resides on. This is not at all trivial and required a custom type written in C#. Thanks to Justin Rich for doing the hard work. This version doesn't appear to work with PowerShell v2 on my Vista lab machine, but works on a 2008 R2 server with v2. It seems to work against _remote_ computers with v2 regardless. The cmdlet is significantly slower with the -IncludeDiskInfo parameter and this parameter requires PSRemoting to the target (because I need to add the [GetDisk] type remotely).

2014-11-07: Uploaded a new version I wrote months ago when I needed math operations on the space. Use the parameter -NoFormat for that. Also added support for specifying credentials with -Credential or -PromptForCredentials

Older versions of the new script (v1.2+): File:Get-MountPointData2.ps1.txt

Older versions (v1.1 and below): File:Get-MountPointData.ps1.txt

Parameters

ComputerName Target computer(s). PromptForCredentials Prompts for credentials to use for the WMI calls, and for Invoke-Command with the -IncludeDiskInfo parameter. Credential Pass a credentials object to use for the WMI calls, and for Invoke-Command with the -IncludeDiskInfo parameter. IncludeRootDrives Includes volumes with drive letters. NoFormat Do not format numbers, so you can do math operations easily (very useful in certain situations). IncludeDiskInfo Includes disk index number of the disk the mount point or drive letter resides on (should also support spanned volumes and multiple indices, but that's untested). Requires administrator privileges.

Showing Used/Free Space On Mount Points

Here I show the used/free space on the server file_server01's mount points, using the Get-MountPointData cmdlet.

PS C:\> . .\scripts\Get-MountPointData.ps1 PS C:\> Get-MountPointData -ComputerName file_server01 | Format-Table -AutoSize Computer Label Caption FileSystem Size (GB) Free space Percent free -------- ----- ------- ---------- --------- ---------- ------------ file_server01 Dept0001 E:\foo\Dept0001 NTFS 250.00 37.73 15.09 file_server01 Dept0002 E:\foo\Dept0002 NTFS 500.00 83.13 16.63 file_server01 Dept0003 E:\foo\Dept0003 NTFS 350.00 73.38 20.97 file_server01 Dept0004 E:\bar\Dept0004 NTFS 150.00 50.37 33.58 file_server01 Dept0005 E:\bar\Dept0005 NTFS 150.00 56.89 37.93 file_server01 Dept0006 E:\bar\Dept0006 NTFS 300.00 124.42 41.47 file_server01 Dept0007 E:\baz\Dept0007 NTFS 100.00 45.10 45.11 file_server01 Dept0008 E:\baz\Dept0008 NTFS 70.00 31.90 45.57 file_server01 Dept0009 E:\foo\Dept0009 NTFS 300.00 157.08 52.36 file_server01 Dept0010 E:\foo\Dept0010 NTFS 200.00 109.37 54.68 file_server01 Dept0011 E:\foo\Dept0011 NTFS 300.00 191.93 63.98

Including Root Drives

Here's an example of a server without mount points, where I look only at the root drives, using the -IncludeRootDrives parameter.

PS C:\> Get-MountPointData -Comp filesrv2 -IncludeRootDrives | ft -a Computer Label Caption FileSystem Size (GB) Free space Percent free -------- ----- ------- ---------- --------- ---------- ------------ filesrv2 H:\ 0.00 0.00 filesrv2 USER D:\ NTFS 1,945.59 157.36 8.09 filesrv2 User3 F:\ NTFS 711.99 85.11 11.95 filesrv2 User4 G:\ NTFS 711.99 115.16 16.17 filesrv2 User2 E:\ NTFS 549.99 137.36 24.97 filesrv2 C:\ NTFS 48.83 22.24 45.54

"H:\" is an optical drive. The drives are sorted descendingly after percentage of free space by default, but you can use -Noformat and sort on size, free space, multiple values, or whatever you want.

Sorting By Drive Letter

To sort by drive letter, you can add "Sort Computer, Caption" to the pipeline before Format-Table -AutoSize. If you only target a single server, you can omit the "Computer" property and sort by caption only.

PS C:\> Get-MountPointData -Comp filesrv2 -IncludeRootDrives | Sort Computer, Caption | ft -a Computer Label Caption FileSystem Size (GB) Free space Percent free -------- ----- ------- ---------- --------- ---------- ------------ filesrv2 C:\ NTFS 48.83 22.24 45.54 filesrv2 USER D:\ NTFS 1,945.59 157.36 8.09 filesrv2 User2 E:\ NTFS 549.99 137.36 24.97 filesrv2 User3 F:\ NTFS 711.99 85.11 11.95 filesrv2 User4 G:\ NTFS 711.99 115.16 16.17 filesrv2 H:\ 0.00 0.00
