Script to check for files in share?

[bowwow]

Hi All

Im new to vb scripting. Does anyone know how to get a vb script to check for files in a network share? (not a folder). I will alert when there 'x' files and raise a critical alrte when there are 'y' files. The network share is also on a cluster if that makes any difference? The script will run on the active node of the cluster.

Any help much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Andy

There is no difference between a folder and a share in this case. You will simply substitute a UNC for a local path.

This is really easy if you don't have to worry about sub folders.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set oFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("\\127.0.0.1\C$\Windows")

intFileCount = oFolder.Files.Count

wscript.echo intFileCount

If you need to consider sub folders then it is probably more practical to be looking at the folder size rather than the number of files within it.

On Error Resume Next

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("\\127.0.0.1\C$\LabSoftware")

If oFolder.Size < 102400 Then
    wscript.echo oFolder.Size/1024\1024 & "MB"
Else
    wscript.echo oFolder.Size/1024/1024\1024 & "GB"
End If

I hope you find this post helpful.
