Running Windows Core: How-to find volume size & free space

[itoleck]

Running Windows Core Series, what happens when you have no GUI?

When running these commands or using them in scripts keep in mind that some may become deprecated in future versions of Windows. Best practice is to use the PowerShell commands, when possible, to future proof any script that use these commands. These commands were run on Windows Server 2012R2.

When running Windows Server 2012+ without a GUI note that the GUI can be reinstalled via PowerShell (Install-WindowsFeature) and a reboot.

From Windows Server core command prompt:

C:>DISKPART

LIST VOL

SELECT VOL 2

DETAIL VOL

Or

C:>WMIC VOLUME LIST STATUS

Or

C:>POWERSHELL

PS C:>Get-Volume
