Get free space of network computer

[lrstndm]

Is it possible to get the free space of a specific drive of a network computer?

Is saw a program on the forum but for this you needed to share the drive.

Is it possible to read the values without sharing the drive?

yes, the drive must be shared - but no, you don't have to do it yourself. drives are shared by default: hostnamec$ is drive C over network. just make sure you have administrative permissions on the host, then:

DriveSpaceFree("\\hostname\c$")

Okey, thanks orbs!

When I type in the explorer COMPUTERNAMEC$, windows asks for a username and password. Using autoit the DriveSpaceFree methode gives 0. Is it possible to login or something using the DriveSpaceFree methode?

Or does the username and password have to be equal from my computer and the computer I connect to?

as i said,

 

 just make sure you have administrative permissions on the host

 

you have 3 options:

1) give yourself (even temporarily) admin rights on the remote host

2) use DriveMapAdd() and specify the credentials, and later use DriveMapDel()

3) RunAs() your script from batch file or from another script

option (3) is recommended, as (1) cripples automation, and (2) exposes the network drive to misuse.

to your consideration.
