Map non-NVMe disks on Amazon EC2 Windows instance to volumes

The following PowerShell script lists each disk and its corresponding device name and volume.

Connect to your Windows instance and run the following command to enable PowerShell script execution.

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Copy the following script and save it as mapping.ps1 on your Windows instance.

Run the script as follows:

PS C:\> .\mapping.ps1

The following is example output.

If you did not provide your credentials on the Windows instance, the script cannot get the EBS volume ID and uses N/A in the EbsVolumeId column.
