print 'disk quota has been enabled for drive {} successfully'.format(drName)
else:
for line in result:
if line != '':
print line
usage:
script user can change drive name in the variable drName
for example, i want to enable disk quota on E: instead of C: then i can change the drName value as drName=‘E:’
sample output:
