If you have quotas enabled you may be able to use WMI to query it, otherwise you will need to iterate the files and directories and create a total yourself. You could scan the entire disk on a regular basis (hourly?) on the server, and create a disk usage map that you can get the info from. Something like Treesize may do this for you.

That last one may warrant some explanation. When you create a file with (say) one character in it, the file length is "1". The actual amount of disk used to store the file however is the size of the basic filesystem block - it used to be 4Kb. This means that your 1 byte file actually uses 4Kb of disk to store it. These odd fragments of blocks are not particularly interesting for single files, but when you start getting very large numbers of small files the "wasted" space becomes very large. A good example is temporary Internet files, which by their nature tend to be small and numerous. Here, the discrepancy between the total file size and actual disk space consumed can become significant. [EDIT] One notable exception... Compressed volumes may store the data in a different format, which is slower to access but is far more efficient in terms of disk space usage [/EDIT] Edited by Richard H. (2004-05-07 02:28 PM)

Code: FormatNumber(fnGetFolderProp(@HomeDrive,Size),0) Close. The size is still the file size in bytes, not disk used. If you can get the "Size on disk" value that you see when you look at the properties of the file/folder it would be more accurate.
