I writing regarding your article in the above-mentioned magazine.  It was very informative.

In reviewing your article, you lost me.

I followed everything even creating a .txt file with, initially, the IP addresses of some computers on my network.  I then recreated the .txt file with the actual computer name.

I then "ran" the line on page 33 in the middle column just above the "Scary, isn't it?" line.

It gave me information based on the formatting.  However, it repeated the same information for all computers in the .txt file, reflecting the information on my local PC and not actually associated with any of the computers listed in the .txt file.

I then looked at your output in Figure 3.  Your outpost shows the same pattern.  It all repeats the logical disk freespace from the LOCALHOST machine and not from the computer names listed, MEDIASERVER and DON-PC.

So, what am I missing?  Why did this not actually get the info from the other machines?

Please advise.

I'm going to move this post, since this forum is specifically for free tools from SAPIEN technologies. You're asking more of a general PowerShell question.

Okay... understand that I write these things about six months before you read them so I had to go dig up the back issue. Unfortunately I'm looking at the online version which doesn't have a page 33 or a middle column... so if I'm answering the wrong question, please accept my apologies.

The screen shot you noticed is because I use a kind of complex setup of virtual machines where each VM "sees" the same physical drives (think of them as clones).

So start with something like this:
"localhost","xp","server2" | % { gwmi win32_logicaldisk -computer $_ }

Substituting appropriate server names, just 3-4 of them as a test. Is that getting you results from different computers?

(BTW - please be patient with me if I'm slow in responding; I'm off to IT Forum in Spain and am going to be eight or nine hours off - thanks)
