I recommend File Insight from Brocade. It's free and generates a nice set of reports. Definitely worth taking a look at if you're undecided.
Good Luck, Jason From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 9:27 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: A quarter million files... I have a task where I need to find out how much space files from a certain date range are using - example, how much disk space are all files last modified sometime in 2006 are using. On the server in question, using Explorer's search features it returns 271,000 objects (which is probably accurate, the search takes several hours to complete), but when I right click and choose "Properties" which should normally bring up disk space uses, it returns nothing. I'm guessing I'm running into an Explorer limit? Is there a command-line tool that will give me files and total size of a given date range? If I could do a DIR /S /O:D <specify date range> > D:\FileList.txt that would be awesome. Anyone, anyone, Bueller, Bueller?
