How can I show size in GB for WMI output?

Question

I wrote a script for formatting disk information using WMI, with the following command and syntax:

Get-WMIObject -ComputerName $Computer -Class Win32_LogicalDisk | Where-Object {$_.DriveType -eq 3}

But I need format the output to express the size in GB. How handle the output?

Thanks!

You can use expressions to format your output with Select-Object:

For example, you can write that:

$Computer = 'localhost'
$DiskInfo = Get-WMIObject -ComputerName $Computer -Class Win32_LogicalDisk | Where-Object {$_.DriveType -eq 3}  `
| Select-Object @{Name="Device";Expression={($_.Name)}},
                @{Name="Size";Expression={([math]::Round($_.size/1gb))}},
                @{Name="Free";Expression={([math]::Round($_.freespace/1gb))}}

I select the properties and format using the math method Round (Math.Round Method). With the following output:

PS C:\Users\vmsilvamolina> $DiskInfo

Device Size Free

C:      223   23
