Is it possible to determine what File system is on a Harddisk (Fat32 or NTFS) in a configuration group ??

We want to check the file system on the second partition (D

I used the GetFileSystem.vbs to solve the problem.

But still it would be nice to get FS info for every local disk/partition and not only 1.

Similar to GetFileSystem.vbs, the first thing that needs to be done is to create a text file like the following:

********************************************************
strComputer = "."
set shell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Lanovation\Prism Deploy"
strFileSystemValue = ""

Set objReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")
For Each objDisk in colDisks
If objDisk.Description = "Local Fixed Disk" THEN
strValueName = objDisk.Caption & " File System Type"
strFileSystemValue = objDisk.FileSystem
RegResult = objReg.SetStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, strValueName, strFileSystemValue)
End If
Next
***********************************************************

Save this text file as GetFileSystemLocalFixedDisks.vbs to a network shared location. Then, create a Prism Command Task that calls the Windows Scripting Host and passes it the VBScript that was just created. For example:

cscript.exe \\server\share\GetFileSystemLocalFixedDisks.vbs

Then you simply need to paste the following into a new Predefined Configuration Group (rather then using one of the options in the drop down list):

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lanovation\Prism Deploy\\C: File System Type"

Create two or three more (depending on the number of local drive a machine may have) that look like:

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lanovation\Prism Deploy\\D: File System Type"

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lanovation\Prism Deploy\\E: File System Type"

Now, all the computers that have the VBScript Task assigned will create local registry values that contains the File System Type of their local fixed disks. Those computers will then add themselves to the desired Configuration Group(s).
