File inventory of network share

Hi,

With what tool(s) can I make an inventory of files on a network share and export the list (CSV, Excel, XML or similar).

Preferrably defineable depth/recursiveness of inventory (1 level deep, 2 level, infinite etc.)

Thank you!

Does it really work with network shares?

With the command line options of the pro version I think it would work, so I accept the answer.

Anyway I decided to write a four liner in Powershell that can do it:

$filename=$args[0]
foreach($line in Get-Content $filename) {
Get-ChildItem -Recurse $line -Filter * | Where { ! $_.PSIsContainer }  | Select-Object DirectoryName,Name,Extension,PSDrive,Length,Mode,LastWriteTime | Export-Csv   -Delimiter ';'  -Path test.csv -Append -Encoding ascii -NoTypeInformation
}

Accepts a command line argument with a file name containing share paths \\server\share on multiple lines:

\\server\share
\\server\share2
\\server2\share1

etc.
