RE: getting remote hard drive space

[Rob Dowell]

I recommend using WMI for this (if you are in a windoze environment). There is a perl interface for it or you could interface through jscript, vbscript, or .Net. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Sumit Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 4:46 PM To: win32-admin Subject: getting remote hard drive space Hi All, I am using the Win32::AdminMisc module to build some inventory information within our network. I am trying the GetDriveSpace function to get the size of remote hard drives. The documentation of the module says that if a UNC is used instead of local drive then a backslash should be used at the end. Here is what I am using   $drive = "\\\\$server\\C\$\\"; {($FixedDrives{$drive}->{Size}, $FixedDrives{$drive}->{Free}) = Win32::AdminMisc::GetDriveSpace($drive);}   And on running this I get undefined value. Any idea whats wrong with the code or has anyone encountered this before. I got the module from Jenda Krynick's ppm repository.   Also is there any way to find out the number of fixed drives on a remote machine?   Thanks in advance, Sumit.
