Good point...forgot about the environment
variables.
So, for Sharyn's use, it would be something
like...
ECHO %1 >> "\\<network path to your server here that every
user has write access to>\PSTsize.log"
DIR "%USERPROFILE%\local
settings\application data\ etc..." >> "\\<network path to your
server here that every user has write access
to>\PSTSize.log"
Then she just has to put them in every AD profile
<g>. There may be a shortcut for that though...possibly a group
policy that would do it.

No need for %1
There are these varibles available.
%COMPUTERNAME%
%USERNAME%
%USERPROFILE%
Now, you can't have spaces in the "DIR" Command,
so
DIR "%USERNAME%\*.*" >>
"C:\Pst.Log"
Now, that only works in a .cmd file.
testing from a command prompt doesn't
work.

If you put the username as a parameter to a batch
file in every users AD profile, then a simple batch
file like
ECHO %1 >> \\<network path to your server here that every
user has write access to>\PSTsize.log
DIR C:\documents and
settings\%1\local settings\application data\ etc... >> \\<network path to your
server here that every user has write access
to>\PSTSize.log
Would give it to you. Of course you could
get fancier with the log file format, but this gives you the fundamental
data.
Obviously you have to put this individually into
each users' profile with their username, so that will take
time...

The .NET framework is not needed for VBS scripts
or non-.NET executables, only for .NET compiled executables.
So now, the thing is to just find or have
someone write the script for you <g>.
If you standardized
the location of the PST on every workstation, a simple bat file would
do the trick. If the directory name is different on each workstation,
then you would need to pass it a parameter to find the directory and echo
the dir info to a network file.
Heh..I"m working on the "get someone to write it for me" part,
that would be my boss who came up with this idea about the size
monitoring of the pst files anyway.
The directory is the standard directory
that Outlooks installs all it's pst files, documents and
settings/<username>/local settings/application data/
etc etc
So, since everyone's user name is different that
would put it in a different
directory.
