Might be related to Windows 2008 R2. There is an updated version of this function available in our book: VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reference: Automating vSphere Administration. Look for listing 7.4; the code is available for download from the Wiley site.

I’m a newbie to scripting so woudl appreciate any help here.
I have vCentre 4.1U2 and PowerCLI 4.1.1 on Windows 2008 R2

I can remote query the disk details with wmi/powercli with the following script no prob….

# $diskdrive – harddisk related info
# $diskpartition – partition related info
# $Logicaldrive – Drive related info
$Srv = Read-Host “Enter Name to list disk details for”

$diskdrives = Get-WmiObject win32_diskdrive -ComputerName $Srv

foreach($diskdrive in $diskdrives){
Write-Host “———————————————————”
Write-Host “Disk:” $diskdrive.Index “`n SCSI:” $diskdrive.SCSIBUS “`n SCSITargetID:” $diskdrive.SCSITargetID “`n SCSILU:SCSILogicalUnit”
foreach($diskpartition in $diskdrive.getrelated(“win32_diskpartition”)){
Write-Host “Disk Partition:” $diskpartition.NAME
FOREACH($LOGICALDRIVE IN $diskpartition.getrelated(“win32_logicaldisk”)){
write-host “Logical drive:” $LOGICALDRIVE.name
}
}

}

I’ve updated my post with a sample output.
