Editing Analyze Drive Contents with TreeSize in ControlUp

A user wanted to use TreeSize instead of WinDirStat to edit the contents of the Analyze drive and was suggested to make a copy of the script and modify it to use the TreeSize exe. They retried running it from the command line and confirmed that TreeSize is running on the VDAs, although the user had not tried to run the scan exe from the user’s VDA. The user has now confirmed that they have got it.

I would like to get a way that works that I can edit the Analyze drive contents with WinDirStat to use TreeSize instead.

You should be able to do this by making a copy of the script and then modifying it to use the TreeSize exe instead. If you can pass it a command line argument for the location you want to scan, you should be able to get it to work. We didn’t do this with TreeSize, but with SpaceSniffer.

I tried that and it did not run for me maybe I am missing something in thne syntax. I will retry and see

I will retry running it form the command line as well

Is treesize on the machine you are running the sba from? Or someplace different. We run with execution context "Controlup Console/Monitor".

yessir ti is running from all our VDAs

both remote VDAs and the console monitor vda

thanks I will try that as well

you can do it!

it has been a while since i tried this and i just got on this sit

site

so wanted to ask if others were successful

I haven’t tried to run the scan exe from the user’s vda. We use it to scan a user’s profile folder by way of C$ from the console machine, but it works for us.

Got it
