Looking for local drives on a server.

I need to write a script that will search for files on a server...the first thing I need to do is search for all local disks on the machine.

Does anyone have any advice on how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

You could add a reference to the Microsoft Scripting runtime and use the filesystem object to navigate drives & folders.

Look in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library in the Web Development chapter for the Scripting documentation.

Or you can use the built-in VB6 disk functions, look in the VB documentation for details.

There may be different options in VB.NET

yeah, in .NET just add a reference (ie, imports statement) to the system.io namespace. I would definitely go for the FSO in VB6 - very easy to deal with

This is a sample on msdn:
Sub ShowDriveList
Dim fs, d, dc, s, n
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set dc = fs.Drives
For Each d in dc
s = s & d.DriveLetter & " - "
If d.DriveType = 3 Then
n = d.ShareName
Else
n = d.VolumeName
End If
s = s & n & vbCrLf
Next
MsgBox s
End Sub
