ps c:\windows\system32> $list = vssadmin list writers ps c:\windows\system32> $list vssadmin 1.1 - volume shadow copy service administrative command-line tool (c) copyright 2001-2012 microsoft corp.  writer name: 'task scheduler writer'    writer id: {d61d61c8-d73a-4eee-8cdd-f6f9786b7124}    writer instance id: {1bddd48e-5052-49db-9b07-b96f96727e6b}    state: [1] stable    last error: no error  writer name: 'vss metadata store writer'    writer id: {75dfb225-e2e4-4d39-9ac9-ffaff65ddf06}    writer instance id: {088e7a7d-09a8-4cc6-a609-ad90e75ddc93}    state: [1] stable    last error: no error  writer name: 'performance counters writer'    writer id: {0bada1de-01a9-4625-8278-69e735f39dd2}    writer instance id: {f0086dda-9efc-47c5-8eb6-a944c3d09381}    state: [1] stable    last error: no error  writer name: 'system writer'    writer id: {e8132975-6f93-4464-a53e-1050253ae220}    writer instance id: {cb8da305-5a18-4bf9-91e6-981bcf836c7b}    state: [9] failed    last error: timed out 

if want objects, trick:

$cvssoutput = vssadmin list writers  # creating empty collection. $cvsswriters = @()  foreach ($line in $cvssoutput) {     $cnamevalue = $line.trim() -split ': '      if ($cnamevalue[1] -ne $null) {         if ($cnamevalue[0] -eq 'writer name') {             # new writer. initializing new object.             $ovssvriter = new-object psobject         }          # formatting , adding properties.         $sname = $cnamevalue[0] -replace " ", ""          $svalue = $cnamevalue[1] -replace "'", ""         $ovssvriter | add-member -type noteproperty -name $sname -value $svalue          if ($cnamevalue[0] -eq 'last error') {             # properties in place.             # adding object collection.             $cvsswriters += $ovssvriter         }     } } 

now can select properties need, example:

$cvsswriters | % { $_.writername }
