How to find Operating System partition ID?

I am a novice PS user.  I am trying to find out a way to find the disk partition that contains a windows operating system.
For example, the value 2 would indicate the OS partition resides here.
Thanks,

Tommy has a good way to parse this and this will most likely meet 99.9999999999999% of everyone's needs.
Just in case you're on a partition that's two digits, this will return only the number:
((Get-WmiObject Win32_AutochkSetting).SettingID -split 'Partition')[1]
Don't retire TechNet! -

  • How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX

    Hi,
    Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
    E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
    c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
    Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Guys,
    I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
    However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
    sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
    What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
    Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How to use Operating System Commands while using define in sqlplus

    How to use Operating System Commands while using define in sqlplus . The Host OS is Linux

    The above is not working.
    The output should be 
    define report_name=PROD_JAN.html
    Regards,

    of course I was talking nonsense: the problem here is the mixing of bind variables and DEFINE variables.
    With the following changes the script should work (the conditions for begin_interval_time are perhaps not what you want):
    variable snap1 number
    variable snap2 number
    variable rptname varchar2(20)
    begin
    SELECT min(snap_id) into :snap1 FROM dba_hist_snapshot WHERE CAST(begin_interval_time AS DATE) >= SYSDATE-1;

    I have updated my wikibook How To Backup Operating Systems to include a method for ext4 using the new FSArchiver, and also made it both GRUB v1 and v2 friendly, among other changes.  This guide is fairly newbie-friendly and is designed to help take some of the stress out of system updates and reinstallations by providing a reliable and easy system backup/restore solution.  It covers multi-OS systems including Windows.   It also contains a section "How The Computer Boots - The MBR Explained" that is good reading if you don't understand the boot process.

  • How to call operating system(windows) functions like sutdown,refresh,et

    Hello,
    I am new in Oracle D2k.I want to know that how to call windows XP/7 shell commands(operating system functions) or windows function key(like F5 for system refresh in windows xp/7) in an Oracle Form.
    Actually I have to make a trigger which can fire at pressing a particular key and execute appropriate action of Windows7 like shutdown,F5(function key of windows to system refresh).
    thank you
    regards
    aaditya.

    Just for future reference, regardless if you are posting in the Forms area of the forum or any other, terms like Forms 11g, Oracle 11g, etc are parts of product names. They are not version numbers although they do offer a slight hint. It is very important that when posting you include the complete version number of any products related to the problem or question you have. For example, you said you are using Oracle Forms 11g. Look at how many possible versions "Forms 11g" could possibly be:
    11.1.1.1
    11.1.1.2
    11.1.1.3
    11.1.1.4
    11.1.1.6
    11.1.2.0
    11.1.2.1
    With each new patch release and major release, a large number of bug fixes are included. In the case of new major releases, in addition to bug fixes, many new features are added. So knowing the version number is important.
    Beyond that, it would appear that you have many questions:
    1. How to copy and paste
    2. How to execute a system shutdown
    3. How to force the browser into full screen mode
    4. Refresh - this one is unclear. What do you mean by "refresh"?
    Let me answer those that I can:
    <blockquote>o Functions like cut/copy/paste are available directly from your Forms code. For these I would recommend referring to the Builder's Online Help. Look for CUT_REGION, COPY_REGION, PASTE_REGION. It might also be helpful to understand SELECT_ALL. For example you may want to code a Copy button like this:
    GO_ITEM('some_text_field);
    SELECT_ALL;
    COPY_REGION;o To execute a system shutdown on the client machine, you would first need to WebUtil enable your form. Refer to the Forms Builder Online Help for information about how to use WebUtil. You can also find lots of information in this forum about WebUtil. Once enabled, you can execute a Windows shutdown in various ways. Here one option:
    Declare
         my_cmd varchar2(255);
    Begin
         my_cmd := 'cmd /c start "" "' || '"shutdown -s -f -t 1"' || '"';
         WEBUTIL_HOST.HOST (my_cmd);
    End;Refer to the Microsoft documentation for more information: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491003.aspx
    o I'm not sure what you are attempting to do with the F11. I understand that this function key sets the browser to full screen, but the form will not exactly adjust for this change in browser size. You can adjust the applet size dynamically, but not the form. For that you would need to code the behavior yourself. So, before I can offer something specific, it would be helpful to understand what you expectation is and if what you want is to set the browser to full screen, why not just allow the end user to do it? You could easily have a java script popup displayed before the form starts which might say something like "To maximize your browser, press F11"
    o Finally, "refresh". I don't know what you mean here. Refresh what? The Windows desktop, browser, Oracle Forms.....

    My macbook pro 2011 does not come with a recovery disc or any disc at all, my hard drive recently failed and i have no backup. i have replaced the hard drive but don't know how to install the operating system on the new hard drive.

    If it originally shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect the computer to the Internet and start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down. You'll be able to install an OS.
    If it shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier and wasn't upgraded to use Apple's Internet Recovery system, phone AppleCare and order the disks.

  • How to add operation system user in atable

    oracle 10g and Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4
    i wouil like to add operation system user name in a oracle table so that i can monitor data in the particular table

    Your question is unclear.
    Check also v$session dynamic performance view may be you can get information from this view which you can pull into your custom table.
    And your query is about finding who is connected then,
    To know about the list of users that is now connected and the time when they connect to database issue the following query.
    SQL> SELECT s.username, s.program, s.logon_time
    FROM v$session s, v$process p, sys.v_$sess_io si
    WHERE s.paddr = p.addr(+)
    AND si.sid(+) = s.sid
    AND s.type = 'USER';
    USERNAME PROGRAM LOGON_TIM
    SAMI sqlplus@testerp (TNS V1-V3) 26-NOV-10
    oracle@testerp (J000) 26-NOV-10
    To know only the current session user name you can issue the following query,
    SQL> SELECT USERNAME from v$session where audsid = sys_context('userenv','sessionid');
    USERNAME
    SAMI
    To know about on which schema you are connecting issue following query.
    SQL> SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'CURRENT_SCHEMA') FROM dual;
    SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CURRENT_SCHEMA')
    SAMI
    To know about the connected user user for the current session issue,
    SQL> SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'SESSION_USER') FROM dual;
    SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','SESSION_USER')
    SAMI
    If you use SQL*plus then simply issue,
    SQL> SHOW USER;
    USER is "SAMI"

  • How to get operating system username?

    I need to get operating username and database username for auditing purpose. please suggest how to get os username to insert into auditing table by using triggers.

    Normally, You should check the column 'osuser' from sys.v$session view.(username is the DBUser) Care should be taken to get the osuser of the current session! This work in client/server environment. Problems appear in web environment where a HOST program is more appropriate to do this and be invoked in Forms. (see metalink eg Note:1021606.6
