Hi Dirk,
Yes, I guess that’s what I’m asking. What access rights need to be given on the C$ share in order for a service account to read disk space? I have given the service account full rights on the C drive (not an option), and it didn’t work. I added service account to local admins (not an option) and it *did* work. I added service account to “performance monitor users” group and it didn’t work.

I want to use a service account to carry out the check, but DBA / Networks do not want to give the service account more than bare minimum permissions (understandably) to report on available disk space. SO far I have only had success when I place the service account in the local administrators group (not an option). Thanks in advance, Jonathan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
