Some years ago I wrote this routine (in VB 6 at the time).
It should be fairly simple to re-write it using .Net Framework.

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Retrieve Disk Space on Server Share
I am currently writing a small application that checks various Hi All,
I am currently writing a small application that checks various servers (e.g.
can be pinged / db can be connected to / heartbeat files are being written
etc). I would also like to check for free disk space (if this isn't
possible then disk space used) on a server, using a share name (e.g.
\\myServer\MyShare). I think I'm safe to assume that all servers (that my
app will run on and that it's monitoring) will be Windows Server 2003.
My application will not run on the server I'm checking and the account will
not have permission to read any of the perforanace counters on the server
(This rules out the System.Management classes?).
I've been asking my mate Google for a day or so but haven't come up with
anything! Does anyone have a sample or at least a steer in the right
direction?
Grateful for any advice,
Graeme
