I am trying to nail down free space on a remote server by querying all the drives and then looping until I find the drive I am seeking.
Is there a better way to do this?
Dim oConn As New ConnectionOptions
Dim sNameSpace As String = "\\mnb-content2\root\cimv2"
Dim oMS As New ManagementScope(sNameSpace, oConn)
Dim oQuery As System.Management.ObjectQuery = New System.Management.ObjectQuery("select FreeSpace,Size,Name from Win32_LogicalDisk where DriveType=3")
Dim oSearcher As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher(oMS, oQuery)
Dim oReturnCollection As ManagementObjectCollection = oSearcher.Get()
Dim oReturn As ManagementObject
For Each oReturn In oReturnCollection
'Disk name
Console.WriteLine("Name : " + oReturn("Name").ToString())
'Free Space in bytes
Dim sFreespace As String = oReturn("FreeSpace").ToString()
If Left(oReturn("Name").ToString(), 1) = "Y" Then
Console.WriteLine(sFreespace)
End If
Next
Why not just make your WMI query only pull back where name='Y'?
So:
Dim oQuery As System.Management.ObjectQuery = New System.Management.ObjectQuery("select FreeSpace,Size,Name from Win32_LogicalDisk where DriveType=3 AND name='Y'")
