Find lost space the easy way (spacesniffer.exe)

[jdeknox]

I use spacesniffer to find any lost space our machines, typically when I get a report of machines sub 5GB. I've found it extremely useful to incorporate into lansweeper. Go to the below site and download the .exe once downloaded stick it into your Lansweeper\Actions folder and use the following

{actionpath}spacesniffer.exe scan \\{computer}\c$

How are ya'll doing this since connecting to a hidden share (C$) requires admin?

Thanks

I am getting this "WARN 10:29:05 - Unable to examine \\My Network Computer Name is here\c$\users\ (The network path was not found. - code 53)" am I doing something wrong? Please let me know. Thank You.

I've used "treesize" also for this type of check. there is a free version. not sure if that one does network drive though.

Hi Juha,

Thanks for your reply.

Can you please advise how I "add SpaceSniffer to Asset Actions in the Lansweeper configuration" ?

Is this done on my Lansweeper server or can I do this on the web portal?

Thanks again for your help.

I have a similar custom action set up using WinDirStat portable! Works fantastically

would you be able to share the action for WinDirStat?

I got it to work with this:

{actionpath}windirstat.exe \\{smartname}\c$\

Hi Roym,

first you need to add SpaceSniffer to Asset Actions in the Lansweeper configuration.

Then open from the Dashboard any asset page showing computer details. You should see SpaceSniffer listed in the Basic actions.

Hi Guys,

I have added spacesniffer.exe to the actions folder on my Lansweeper server but I am unable to see it under the Advanced Actions on the Lansweeper webpage.

Can you please advise?

Thanks
