Checking space on a SQL/File server

paul walker

Hi,
I have a system monitor that runs as a service on a file server, and I need to be able to check disk-space on specific drives on other servers in the domain and report if the space falls below a threshold. The servers can be of any type (SQL, file, CITRIX, etc, etc).
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Paul

Accepted answer
I am not sure if you already got a solution to your problem, but i tried the following and it shows the details:

using System;
using System.Management;

ManagementObject mydisk = new ManagementObject("win32_logicaldisk.deviceid=\"c:\"");
mydisk.Get();
Console.WriteLine("Disk Size = " + mydisk["Size"] + " bytes");
Console.WriteLine("Disk FreeSpace = " + mydisk["FreeSpace"] + " bytes");
Console.ReadKey();
