So I am trying to make a for loop that will optimize the drives based on anyone's drives in windows.
I have the following command and know how to structure the for loop. I just need the command to jkust print the drive letters. Is there a way to do this with the Get-PSDrive command?
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem
Name Used (GB) Free (GB) Provider Root CurrentLocation
---- --------- --------- -------- ---- ---------------
C 1311.02 550.33 FileSystem C:\ WINDOWS\system32
D 557.70 140.94 FileSystem D:\
E 0.22 0.46 FileSystem E:\
F 0.00 369.97 FileSystem F:\
H 0.23 1.14 FileSystem H:\
J 1676.01 0.64 FileSystem J:\
O 899.72 31.79 FileSystem O:\
How can I just print the drive names without the column name?
there are two ways to get the drive info you my seem to want from that cmdlet. one gets just the letter [the .Name, ex = C], and the other gets the root of the drive [the .Root, ex = C:\].
drive letter only ...
(Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem).Name
# result is an array of just the drive letters
# C, D, E, etc.
the root of the drives ...
(Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem).Root
# result is an array of drive roots
# C:\, D:\, E:\, etc.
