I need to filter out the shared drives in this script located below. The
drive letters are Z,M,N,D,G. This is the code I'm currently using to display
information about my servers.

$strComputer = "servername"

$colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_LogicalDisk" -namespace "root\CIMV2" `
-computername $strComputer

foreach ($objItem in $colItems) {
      write-host "Caption: " $objItem.Caption
      write-host "Compressed: " $objItem.Compressed
      write-host "Description: " $objItem.Description
      write-host "Device ID: " $objItem.DeviceID
      write-host "File System: " $objItem.FileSystem
      write-host "Free Space: " $objItem.FreeSpace
      write-host "Name: " $objItem.Name
      write-host "Provider Name: " $objItem.ProviderName
      write-host "Size: " $objItem.Size
      write-host "System Name: " $objItem.SystemName
      write-host "Volume Name: " $objItem.VolumeName
      write-host

}

If you only want the physical drives on your server, then -filter
DriveType=3

Hi IT,
pipe the WMI to the folowing Filter:

? {$_.DeviceID -notmatch "[Z|M|N|D|G]"}

Complete line of Code:

$colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_LogicalDisk" -namespace "root
\CIMV2" -computername $strComputer | ? {$_.DeviceID -notmatch "[Z|M|N|
D|G]"}

So all Drives wich NOT match are assigned to $colItems
