Much simpler solution: Get-PSDrive C | Select-Object Used,Free and for remote computers (needs Powershell Remoting) Invoke-Command -ComputerName SRV2 {Get-PSDrive C} | Select-Object PSComputerName,Used,Free
LoadWithPartialName has been deprecated. The recommended solution for PowerShell V3 is to use the Add-Type cmdlet e.g.: Add-Type -Path ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll’ There are multiple different versions and you may want to pick a particular version. 🙂

Get-Member shows information about the distinct types in the collection of inputs, which means that the first occurrence of each type is reported on, with subsequent occurrences skipped. In your case, both input objects are of type [System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject], so Get-Member will report just … Read more
The simplest Hello World example… $hello = “Hello World” $hello | Out-File c:\debug.txt
Here is an example I have found in my snippets. Hopefully it is a little bit more comprehensive. First you need to create a file system watcher and subsequently you subscribe to an event that the watcher is generating.
