I posted this question about two months or so ago and didn't get any replies. I'm hoping for some guru's out there to point me in the right direction.....

The client (a worlwide company) wants to bill their departments by disk space usage. Each department is given a certain amount of GB or TB as a mapped drive or share as their own. Each month I need to poll each "drive" and find out how much disk space is in use, after that I do the financial calcs and print reports/invoices.

The kicker here is that the "drives" are all over the world on different types of OS's. In one polling session I need to get the disk space from several hundred servers such as a WINNT 4 in Sweden, a SUN server in Houston, an HP RS6000 in Bahrain, etc.

I already have SQL tables with each managed object, it's IP address, etc.

Of course the question(s) would be: can I use a .Net Framework class and simply ask for the disk space usage of //SwedenNT40/ShareName or is there some sort of SNMP call or other tie into .Net that I can use.

BTW, I'm doing the project in VB.Net with SQL 2000 backend.

TIA !!!
