Find all Cdd and DVD with the detail if there is a cd inside the drive.

Thanks....

How about a free bonus??  lol

Realize this will get messy if you run accross alot of pc's with multi drives, but in single drive machines you may like this better, returns to the file as before, added drive letter assigned and volume label if disc is in.
Output:

PCNAME,DriveLetter,VolumeLabel,DiscIn,DriveModel

If you dont need it just use the other, thought you may like a touch more for good measure.

enjoy!

zf

If you have any other hardware queries let me know those i enjoy doing!! :-)

zf

Wow this is a nice one zoofan.An additional benifit for me....:)

Thought you might enjoy the suprise, glad you like.


cheers

I have a Q from a long time.I think you can help...

Is it possible to find all the HDD in a rack server.In what raid are they configured,How many slots they have and how many are free.
esults like.

machinename     No of HDD    HDD size    Raide type     Free slots    

If you can help i can raise a Q....
THX
Sharath

hmmm.....

I think I can get you some of it.  Num of drives yes, size of drive yes, raid type not very confident, and free slots I assume you mean on the controller and that as well not very confident.

These last two in a hardware raid configuration windows would'nt have access to the information as all it see's is one single drive(the array, Which btw would list in No of HDD and size as a single drive) it would know the controller type and thats it as far I know the other information would have to be queried directly from the controller and would be card specific as well as manufacturer specific dont think thats happening or atleast not with my ability.  

I can do Num drives, and drive size with no problem,  which wil include the raid drive(as windows see's it)


zf

For example when you go into disk managment you should see the hardware raid as a single Drive entity within windows,  aside from low-level machine programming specific to the card model and manufacturer thats all your going to get from it I belive.  

My suggestion to start you in a better direction is who makes your raid controller? and what model is it? I will help you look and see if they have any windows based managment/montoring tools.

zf

Ok Zoofan

I only have HP and dell machines...

Any help on these Hardware related Q....

This is a relevent Q for the previous post printer status page.The same way but to connect through Mstsc.
