Guys,

Can you please help with this...

This is the code...

strComputer = "xxxxx"
UserName = "administrator"
Password = "xxxxxxxx"
Set SWBemlocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objWMIService = SWBemlocator.ConnectServer(strComputer,"root\CIMV2",UserName,Password)
Set driveCol = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk",,48)


First off I iterate through all HDD and add them to an array, but excluding C and Z

i = 0
For Each objvolname in driveCol
If objvolname.drivetype=3 and objvolname.caption <> "C:" and objvolname.caption <> "Z:" Then
arrOfDrives(i)= objvolname.caption
End if
i=i+1
Next


Next, I want to list all the folders (only folders!!) at the root of each drive found.

If I do this (hard code the drive letter into the query)

Set colDirectoryNum = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Directory where Drive = 'c:'")

for each foldername in colDirectoryNum
If (Instr(4,foldername.name,"\"))=0 Then
wscript.echo foldername.name
end if
Next

Things work.


However if use the array variable things dont work

Set colDirectoryNum = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Directory where Drive = 'arrofDrives(i)'")
for each foldername in colDirectoryNum
If (Instr(4,foldername.name,"\"))=0 Then
wscript.echo foldername.name
end if
Next

NADA.ZIP.ZERO.NOTHING


Just a heads up. If you echo out arrayofDrives(i), it CORRECTLY reports the drive letter. So it should work in the query.

Any ideas why?

Please...!!!
 
Try
Set colDirectoryNum = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Directory where Drive = '" & arrofDrives(i) & "'")
 
where are you dimming your arrofDrives? i dont see you dim it and i certainly dont see you redim'n as its size increases
