you could write a WMI script to read this info
example below:

Connect to remote computer with WMI:

Hope this helps

| One question... What info are you really trying to get?
Remember that server disks are very often not "just" physical disks... Often the physical disks are connected to RAID controllers. Those RAID controllers present something different to the operating system than the actual physical disks... A RAID5 set of 3x143 GB disks might appear to the OS, and WMI, as a single 240GB physical disk. Hence, if you only want what the RAID adapter presents to Windows, then WMI will work fine...
However, if you want to actually get reports on the physical spindles then you need to look at the tools provided by the RAID adapter manufacturer as most don't have WMI libraries. You'd need to see if there are command line tools, and then integrate those into your script by parsing through the output. It's ugly, but it can be done.

| The following powershell reads a list of computers from comps.txt and outputs to DiskSpace.html
Import-Csv .\Comps.txt |`
foreach {Get-WmiObject win32_volume -filter "drivetype=3" -computername $_.ComputerName} |`
Select @{Name="Computer"; Expression={$_.SystemName}},`
@{Name="Name"; Expression={$_.Name}},`
@{Name="Capacity"; Expression={($_.Capacity/1GB).ToString("0 GB")}},`
@{Name="FreeSpace"; Expression={($_.FreeSpace/1GB).ToString("0.00 GB")}},`
@{Name="PercentFree"; Expression={((($_.FreeSpace/1GB)/($_.Capacity/1GB))).ToString("00%")}} |`
Sort-Object -Property PercentFree |`

| I have a script that runs on a scheduled task and stores free space to
a CSV so I can see how quickly space is being chewed up;
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=VHg9Xf53
In the WMI query, chagne 'Win32_LogicalDisk' to 'Win32_DiskDrive' if
your not using a hardware raid and 'arrProperty.FreeSpace' to
'arrProperty.Size' just to get the actual volume size instead of the
free space.
