Disk Usage tool

Teledude · 11 Mar 2009 at 13:24

anyone know of any good free tools to scan a range of IP's for disk capacity and used space?

tried WMI but its way over my head

Depends if you just want free space or a bit more information. SNMP will give disk usage and something like Nagios will monitor the SNMP traps free.

If you want a bit more info have a look at Space ObServer (relatively cheap) or Northern Storage Suite (quite pricey)

I just need an instant way to get this info now for free into excel

I havent used Nagios but it does apparently have some reporting that may do it.

Other than that, I cant think of another way other than log into each box and do it manually

Try scriptomatic from MS for WMI queuries else Powershell should be able to do this very easily and tabulate it or format in XML.

I said WMI was too much of a ball ache - I don't have the knowledge to work it out and format it!
