i needed to get the free disk space on a shared remote drive.my shared-name goes something like this -- \\RemoteServer\ADrive$
ConnectionOptions oConn = new ConnectionOptions();oConn.Username = "xUser";oConn.Password = "xxxx";string sSrvName = @" \\RemoteServer\ADrive$";
ManagementScope oMS = new ManagementScope(sSrvName, oConn);
I get the error - "Invalid Parameter".If i remove the $ sign from the end of the server name and make it something like \\RemoteServer\ADriveit goes past the above statement and fails at ManagementObjectSearcher oSearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(oMS, oQuery) ;ManagementObjectCollection oReturnCollection = oSearcher.Get() ;
with the error - "RPC server is unavailable"
but when trying to map the above mentioned share drive - \\RemoteServer\ADrive$, via Windows Explorer it works.any kind of help is appreciated.
thanks to all
