This happens on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.3086]
I need specific fields from Get-Volume. Tried using Format-Table:
PS C:\Users\saukrs> Get-Volume | Format-Table -Property DriveLetter, FriendlyName, FileSystemType, DriveType, OperationalStatus, SizeRemaining, Size
DriveLetter FriendlyName FileSystemType DriveType OperationalStatus SizeRemaining Size
----------- ------------ -------------- --------- ----------------- ------------- ----
E Unknown Fixed OK 244047036416 244047675392
C NTFS Fixed OK 145694720 255405891584
D NTFS Fixed OK 1708548096 1000186310656
NTFS Fixed OK 86540288 529526784
... but values the FriendlyName column/field are gone.
I expected them to be like in the original content. Please see drive letters C and D:
PS C:\Users\saukrs> Get-Volume | Format-Table
DriveLetter FriendlyName FileSystemType DriveType HealthStatus OperationalStatus SizeRemaining Size
----------- ------------ -------------- --------- ------------ ----------------- ------------- ----
E Unknown Fixed Healthy OK 227.29 GB 227.29 GB
C pagrindinis NTFS Fixed Healthy OK 141.2 MB 237.87 GB
D New Volume NTFS Fixed Healthy OK 1.59 GB 931.5 GB
NTFS Fixed Healthy OK 82.53 MB 505 MB
Why is that? And how can this be fixed, please?
The FriendlyName property is not part of the object itself, but part of the default table view for MSFT_Volume instances.
It's just the value of the FileSystemLabel property renamed to FriendlyName, and you can manually recreate it with a calculated property:
Get-Volume |Format-Table Property DriveLetter,@{Name='FriendlyName';Expression='FileSystemLabel'},FileSystemType<#,... and so on #>
