Hi,

Another good tool is WinDirStat which is one of my favorites:

Hello,

I also use WinDirStat.  It has a GUI and it's intuitive.
I would use what lacrewga recommended, it sorts out folders according to size and even gives a pie graph for where the most data is.  Treesize is a quick and easy program to use.
Hi,

Treesize or WinDirStat either one will do.  I think they're both the best options out there.  I like the fact that WinDirStat has versions for many platforms including linux.  But I'd never argue that one is better than the other.  It's a matter of preference.  But I use both.

Good Luck,

Windows Server 2003 comes with the File Server Resource Manager and File Server Resource Management.  Go to Add/Remove and install them on your file server.  You can created scheduled reports that are emailled to you at whatever interval you want.

Wow firemanf29!  Way to school me on something new.  That looks pretty good.

Incidentally, Treesize free will work on server if you check each partition separately. Do not try on mapped drives.
