Get Win32_DiskDrive Data with DeviceID
Question:
I encountered an issue using the WMI Scripter when querying Win32_DiskDrive. It appears to execute correct when the query is written as query = "SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive". However when changed to query = "SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive WHERE DeviceID = '\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0'", it no longer yields any results. Any suggestions to what the problem might be?Answer:
I think you need to escape those backslashes. This seems to work for me:
sComputerName = "."
sWmiMoniker = StrCat("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!//", sComputerName)
objServices = GetObject(sWmiMoniker)
; Get physical disk drive.
objDiskDrives = objServices.ExecQuery ('SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive WHERE DeviceID="\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE0"')
ForEach objDiskDrive In objDiskDrives
caption = objDiskDrive.Caption
serialnum = objDiskDrive.SerialNumber
deviceid = objDiskDrive.DeviceID
sDriveInfo = StrCat( "Disk drive Caption: ", caption , @CRLF)
sDriveInfo = StrCat(sDriveInfo, "SerialNumber: ", serialnum, @CRLF)
sDriveInfo = StrCat(sDriveInfo, "DeviceID: ", " (", deviceid, ")")
Message("Disk Drive Info", sDriveInfo)
Next
objDiskDrives = 0
objServices = 0
Exit
