Hi All

Sadly, the camera didn't pick up some of the command lines I was using in the demo.  Below is a complete transcript of the demo's I did.

Get-Help Get-WMIObject -det
Get-WMIObject -namespace "root\cimv2" -class Win32_LogicalDisk
$disks = Get-WMIObject -namespace "root\cimv2" -class Win32_LogicalDisk
$disks | get-member
$disks | format-table -property deviceid, filesystem, freespace
Get-WMIObject -namespace "root\cimv2" -class Win32_LogicalDisk -computername localhost
Get-WMIObject -namespace "root\cimv2" -list

Have fun

Thanks, I was looking for this.

I was trying to pause the video right as it was in the middle of the screen to see the commands...funny.
