Folder Size
Hi,I am wanting to run a report either through a script or an existing application (hopefully free) which will tell me the following:* size of each folder* breakdown of each AD user size within the folderI have used some FSRM Reports but to do it on each directory would just take too long.Is there a script out there for which something like this exists? I don't care what sort of data or how many files etc. Just something simple.For example:Directory: d:\public\share\blahSize: 45GBUser Breakdowntest.user: 10GBtest2.user2: 20GBtest3.user2: 10GBunknown: 5GBSomething like that would be great.Thanks in advance,TerryTerry http://www.sucked-in.com

Hi, There are some free tools to report folder size. For example: Folder Size for Windows 2.4http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/ Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability. However, to analyze the User Breakdown, you may customize a script to analyze every folder. There are some sample script to manipulate folder: folder http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/ad/users/default.mspx?mfr=true If you have any difficulties when you customizing the scripts, I suggest that you initial a new post in The Official Scripting Guys Forum! to get further support there. They are the best resource for scripting related problems. For your convenience, I have list the link as followed.

I wrote something like this in VB. It's not perfect but I hope that these script will be useful.It works recursively so don't give too many objects to scan.You get somthing like This:For each file:File size: xxxFile name: xxxOwner: xxxAnd at end:User1: total sizeuser2....Total Folder size: xxx Function parseSize(size) If size < 1024 Then parseSize = size & " bytes" Exit Function Else If size < 1048576 Then parseSize = Round(size/1024,2) & " KB" Exit Function Else If size < 1073741824 Then parseSize = Round(size/1048576,2) & " MB" Exit Function Else If size < 1099511627776 Then parseSize = Round(size/1073741824,2) & " GB" Exit Function End If End If End If End If End Function Function in_array(element, arr) For i=1 To Ubound(arr) If Trim(arr(i)) = Trim(element) Then in_array = i Exit Function Else in_array = i*(-1) IF Trim(arr(i)) = "" Then Exit Function End If End If Next End Function Function FolderScan(strFolderName) Set objShell = CreateObject ("Shell.Application") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace (strFolderName) Dim tmpFolderName Dim inArrayStatus For Each strFileName in objFolder.Items If objFolder.GetDetailsOf (strFileName, 11) <> "Folder" then set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(strFolderName & strFileName) wscript.echo "File Size: " & parseSize(int(objFile.Size)) wscript.echo "File Name: " & strFolderName & objFile.Name Wscript.echo "File owner: " & objFolder.GetDetailsOf (strFileName, 10) inArrayStatus = in_array(objFolder.GetDetailsOf (strFileName, 10), users) If inArrayStatus >= 0 Then userSize(inArrayStatus) = userSize(inArrayStatus) + int(objFile.Size) Else users(inArrayStatus * (-1)) = objFolder.GetDetailsOf (strFileName, 10) userSize(inArrayStatus * (-1)) = int(objFile.Size) End If Wscript.Echo Else tmpFolderName = objFolder.GetDetailsOf (strFileName, 0) FolderScan(strFolderName & tmpFolderName & "\") End If Next End Function Dim users(10) Dim userSize(10) Dim catSize FolderScan("c:\test\") wscript.echo "_________________________________________" For i = 1 To UBound(users) IF Trim(users(i)) <> "" Then wscript.echo users(i) & ": " & parseSize(userSize(i)) catSize = catSize + int(userSize(i)) End If Next wscript.echo wscript.echo "Total folder size: " & parseSize(catSize)<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
