And other drives? I was actually asking about the âSâ drive on one of my
systems, but the email conversation changed to âCâ. Iâm assuming now that
C drive permissions are special, and different from other drives, correct?

c$ is an admin share, you have to be an admin on the target machine to
use/access this share.
See if you can get C shared out as ready-only (and a different share name other
than 'C') to the service account you are trying to use.
Otherwise you will need to go into the registry and local security settings on
the machine to change permissions of the c$ share.

Hi Dirk,
Yes, I guess thatâs what Iâm 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 didnât work. I added service account to local admins (not an option)
and it *did* work. I added service account to âperformance monitor usersâ
group and it didnât work.
Thanks,
Jonathan

That depends on the access rights that are given on the c$ share

Subject: [SA-list] Minimum permissions for free disk space check
On Windows Server 2013, what are the minimum permissions required for servers
alive to read available disk space via a disk space check of the format:
file://SERVERNAME/C$ ??
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
