If I use:
Get-PSDrive K I get some properties returned, amongst others the Root property, which looks like this:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> get-psdrive K Name Used (GB) Free (GB) Provider Root ---- --------- --------- -------- ---- K FileSystem \\server\share but if I select Root, I get this returned:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> get-psdrive K | select Root Root ---- K:\ DisplayRoot returns the root as seen in my first command:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> get-psdrive K | select DisplayRoot DisplayRoot ----------- \\server\share Format-List also returns them like my two commands above
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> get-psdrive K | fl * Used : 0 Free : CurrentLocation : Name : K Provider : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem Root : K:\ Description : MaximumSize : Credential : System.Management.Automation.PSCredential DisplayRoot : \\server\share I can just use DisplayRoot to get the UNC-Share, but why does Get-PSDrive on it's own return the DisplayRoot Property in the Root column? Is this by design?
I'm on:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion.ToString() 5.1.14393.2189
