neilmc Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) This has probably been asked before but I can't seem to find it. Just looked at our file server and its hitting the red (Just) is there a piece of software I can use to see what/whose file is using the most space? I have seen this been done before but can't remember what the software was called Thanks Edited June 21, 2012 by neilmc

Mcshammer_dj Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Once you have cleared space you could try Serio IT Service View - Server Monitoring Software | ITIL Availability Management Software Got it running on all my Schools servers to warn me when a drive is close to filling up 1
twin--turbo Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah, tree size or DIR stats.. We were just discussing this the other day as we used to have Novell Netware which had a nifty built in disk useage tool... Rob 1
sonofsanta Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Another advantage of tree size is that it looks intimidatingly complex and anyone coming into your office and seeing it will (occasionally) choose not to interrupt you. 1
Modey Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I have always liked WindirStat. Freeware tool, which does much the same as the TreeSize Util mentioned above, but also gives you a visual map of what's being used. At a galnce you can see wopping great files etc... 1

[ATTACH=CONFIG]14391[/ATTACH] That'd be the one I was thinking of actually, not treesize, for looking suitably complex and god-of-the-LAN-like...
twin--turbo Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 I did use it but it's ability to pull out reports seemed a bit limited. Had other better functions than TS though. Rob 1
psydii Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 File Server Resource Manager should be able to do what you need? It's a feature of the File Server Role, and thus free. The Basics of Windows Server 2008 FSRM (File Server Resource Manager) - Jose Barreto's Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs 1
