== Getting Information About Network Drives in PowerShell ==
In addition to obtaining information about disk drives attached to the local system, it is also possible to get information about mapped network drives from within Windows PowerShell. This is achieved by accessing the WMI win32_mappedlogicaldisk object. As with most object, this one provides a wealth of information so it is often best to select only those attributes which are specifically needed. The following command, for example, displays the device ID, the name of the remote server on which the disk is physically located and the amount of remaining free space on the particular drive:
<pre>
PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-wmiobject win32_mappedlogicaldisk | select-object deviceid,providername,freespace
deviceid providername freespace
