I'm new to Powershell and had a need to run a disk checking script that did not use psexec. I found one here:
http://www.myitforum.com/articles/40/view.asp?id=9651

I created a server txt file and also save the file as test.ps1. I opened powershell changed the directory to the script folder and entered test.ps1. No file was created. Was there a syntax I'm missing or>?

appreciate insight

P.S. I'm also trying to see if I can change the output to say htlm.

It's hard to say what's wrong, you need to provide more details, like the script you are using if you made any changes, exact file paths, and exact error messages. Unless you changed the path, the script you linked to requires the input server list to be in this file path:C:\Myworkplace\Clientlist.txt The script will not create a file, it will open Excel and populate the cells in a worksheet. When you ran the script, what was output to the screen?

There are many places this could fail and you definitely need to provide some more information. But we can take a step back. First can you run this in Powershell on your computer;

get-wmiobject Win32_LogicalDisk -computername $env:computername -Filter "DriveType = 3"

You should get a listing of all your fixed drives. If so try again and change $env:computername to the name of a remote computer. What happens? There are ways to get the output to HTML but let's see if this is working first.
