customizing output from freedisk DOS command

[y2k1981]

I have 2 questions regarding the freedisk commnad on 2003 server, both of which are related. I want to use freedisk to return the amount of freedisk space available on a volume. However, I'd like it return in Mega Bytes instead of bytes. Is there anyway around this at all?

Also, Is there anyway to just return the value with out the INFO: infront? So basically I'd like either 1500MB of just 1500 returned as the value - without any comman to separate the thousands etc. Does anybody think this is possible at all?

Nope - freedisk won't do it. This will though:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:")
Set objLogicalDisk = objWMIService.Get("Win32_LogicalDisk.DeviceID='c:'")
Wscript.Echo Round(objLogicalDisk.FreeSpace / 1048576) & " MB"

It's rough and ready but will give you the free disk space on C:. Save it as a vbs file (e.g. space.vbs) and execute it as:

cscript space.vbs //nologo

If you don't like the MB the just delete it from the last line above.
