Recently we needed to identify home directories on our file servers that exceeded expected usage guidelines. Our servers are structured in such a way that all of the home directories are named the same as the owner's username. As a result, once we identify how much disk space a particular directory consumes, we can easily identify the data's owner and correct the problem. To accomplish this, we needed a utility that allowed us to query the [ ] size of a single folder's contents as well as its corresponding subdirectories.

During our search, we discovered a resource kit utility called diruse.exe, which allows an administrator to query folders on a Windows server to get the the content size. This utility is part of the Windows 2000 Resource Kit, and can be downloaded from Microsoft at: The utility has a number of useful options available that make reporting very easy. We used a command similar to the following: diruse.exe' /* /M /, serverName Share In my example, the subdirectories under the share are all of the user's home directories and look like the following: serverName Share username1 serverName Share username2 serverName Share username3 By running the utility, I get an output that looks similar to the following: Size (mb) Files Directory 200.23 764 SUB-TOTAL: serverName Share username1 2 SUB-TOTAL: serverName Share username2 153.70 838 SUB-TOTAL: serverName Share username3.

Does anyone know of a free command-line tool or script that calculates the size of a directory including all subdirectories? It needs to be compatible with Windows 7, work with hard links and junctions and gracefully deal with access denied to some subfolder (i.e. Continues in such a case). I could not find anything and am thinking of writing my own tool. Update: I am looking for something to analyze (many) roaming user profiles stored on a file server.
