Ok, this one is perhaps a little silly, but have you ever struggled with writing output involving an integer with an unknown value together with some text? Don’t know what I’m talking about? I don’t blame you!

Get-DiskInfo
This rather simple script will take one or more, local or remote, computer(s) as input and return an object with disk volume information. Should be easy enough to understand, but I’ll try to add some get-help stuff to it later.

I’m going to show you three different ways of doing ping check using PowerShell. For this test I’m pinging google.com and I’m only after a true/false response whether the target is reachable or not.
