Finding space of drives in remote servers

Question

How can I find out how much disk space is available/used/free remote Windows servers using a .bat command?

Answer 1

If you are anywhere in the domain there is powershell, then the following command to save the output in a shared folder:

powershell gwmi Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DriveType=3" ^| select Name, FileSystem,FreeSpace,BlockSize,Size ^| % {$_.BlockSize=(($_.FreeSpace)/($_.Size))*100;$_.FreeSpace=($_.FreeSpace/1GB);$_.Size=($_.Size/1GB);$_} ^| ft -property @{n='Name';e={$_.Name}},FileSystem,@{n='Free,Gb';e={'{0:N2}' -f $_.FreeSpace}}, @{n='Free,%';e={'{0:N2}' -f $_.BlockSize}},@{n='Size,Gb';e={'{0:N3}' -f $_.Size}} -AutoSize

way 2:

wmic logicaldisk where DriveType="3" get caption, VolumeName, VolumeSerialNumber, Size, FileSystem, FreeSpace

You can create a lot of requests for WMI remote machines using the list, for example:

wmic /node::@"c:\computers.txt" <<WQL query>>

List of computers in the domain:

dsquery computer -limit 5000 | dsget computer -samid

If you want to make sure the work on all windows operating systems use WSH scripts.

Additional:

Free space, files and a directory for a particular disk:

dir C:\ /A:- | find " bytes" | findstr [0-9]*\s*i*(s)

enumeration drive names:

mountvol | findstr .:\\

May be names which removed in system - "extra" disk names -
