  • 1.  Folder Size Inventory

    Posted Dec 15, 2010 09:53 AM

    We would like to collect data regarding the size of users' My Document folders.  Can this be done via detailed file inventory or will it require a custom data class?

     

    Any guidance appreciated.

    It will be a custom data class populated by a custom inventory.  There's a method posted here to do this:

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/ja/forums/custom-inventory-samples-ns6

    You may want to use an NS6 version, or there's an NS7 version posted in the thread.

    Here's a KB that explains custom inventories in NS7: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO10487

    Does this help?

    Yes, this is extremely helpful.  Thanks for coming through again McLemson.

    The data classes have been added but the script is giving me an access denied error on the line: 

         Wscript.echo "folder.Size=" & subFolder.Size 

    I changed the script to read c:\Users since we are testing on Windows 7 Machines.  Any ideas why this might be happening?  It's failing when trying to do this on the "All Users" folder.

    Or as an admin account?
