Taking no credit for this as I ripped it off: there are lots of examples on
the net
//Connection credentials to the remote computer - not needed if the logged
in account has access
ConnectionOptions oConn = new ConnectionOptions();
oConn.Username = "JohnDoe";
oConn.Password = "JohnsPass";
System.Management.ManagementScope oMs = new
System.Management.ManagementScope("\\MachineX", oConn);
//get Fixed disk stats
System.Management.ObjectQuery oQuery = new
System.Management.ObjectQuery("select FreeSpace,Size,Name from
Win32_LogicalDisk where DriveType=3");
//Execute the query
ManagementObjectSearcher oSearcher = new
ManagementObjectSearcher(oMs,oQuery);
//Get the results
ManagementObjectCollection oReturnCollection = oSearcher.Get();
//loop through found drives and write out info
foreach( ManagementObject oReturn in oReturnCollection )
{
// Disk name
Console.WriteLine("Name : " + oReturn["Name"].ToString());
// Free Space in bytes
Console.WriteLine("FreeSpace: " + oReturn["FreeSpace"].ToString());
// Size in bytes
Console.WriteLine("Size: " + oReturn["Size"].ToString());
}
