Checking Folder sizes on shared Volume

mpr555 · 04-25-2006, 01:57 AM

I am currently trying to find out folder sizes on a shared volume as i am running out of space on my W 2003 Server.

It is a file server for staff. They have no limits on there shared folder. I need to find out which folders are the biggest and e-mail the user to say that they have to do some house keeping.

Is there any easy way to find this information out.

Regards

disk space scanner is the one i like best, it uses a round pie graph, and is very easy to use.

spacemonger shows a more abstract view of the disk, but can be very useful.

both are a must have on my machine.

I would also check out tree size pro 3. You can save the reports in xml and compare them.
