Batch - WMIC Command output multiple lines add string (Computer Name)

Question

I am trying to make a batch script which will output as follows for fixed-disk:

Computer Name, Drive Letter, Free Disk Space

the output can be one line in case there is only one drive or multiple-lines if there are more than one drive

now with following command, i am getting the output for a computer, but this does not give the computer name. I need to include computer name because i will run it against multiple computers by a script using for loop.

wmic /node:"%COMPUTERNAME%" LogicalDisk Where DriveType="3" Get DeviceID,FreeSpace

using batch script, i can output computer name, but it only appears above the disk-space lines

echo off
for /f %%i in (computers.txt) do (
echo %%i >>outputfile.txt
wmic /node:"%%i" LogicalDisk Where DriveType="3" Get DeviceID,FreeSpace' >>outputfile.txt
)

if the computer name is "COMPUTER1" and has 3 drives, this is coming as

COMPUTER1
DeviceID  FreeSpace
C:        <free space bytes>
D:        <free space bytes>
E:        <free space bytes>

what i want is:

ComputerName DeviceID FreeSpace
COMPUTER1    C:       <free space bytes>
COMPUTER1    D:       <free space bytes>
COMPUTER1    E:       <free space bytes>

event the column header can be excluded.

i believe this can be done by for loop, but not sure how. anyone can advise, will be appreciated. thanks.

you have to capture wmic output by for, then you can postprocess every line:

echo Computername  DeviceID  FreeSpace
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('wmic /node:"%%i" LogicalDisk Where DriveType^="3" Get DeviceID^,FreeSpace ^|find ":"') do @echo %%i  %%a
