Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults). N.…

# A simple PowerShell script for retrieving the RAID status of volumes with help of diskpart.
# The nicer solution would be using WMI (which does not contain the RAID status in the Status field of Win32_DiskDrive, Win32_LogicalDisk or Win32_Volume for unknown reason)
# or using the new PowerShell API introduced with Windows 8 (wrong target system as our customer uses a Windows 7 architecture).

# diskpart requires administrative privileges so this script must be executed under an administrative account if it is executed standalone.
# check_mk has this privileges and therefore this script must only be copied to your check_mk/plugins directory and you are done.
