SELECT * 
FROM OPENQUERY (
[LinkedServer],
'
WITH Disk_Size (Servername,DiskMountPoint,fileSystemType,LogicalDrive,ToTalSizeGB,AvilableSizeGB,SpaceFree)
AS
(
SELECT DISTINCT @@Servername Servername,  
volume_mount_point [Disk Mount Point], 
file_system_type [File System Type], 
logical_volume_name as [Logical Drive Name], 
CONVERT(DECIMAL(18,2),total_bytes/1073741824.0) AS [Total Size in GB], ---1GB = 1073741824 bytes
CONVERT(DECIMAL(18,2),available_bytes/1073741824.0) AS [Available Size in GB],  
CAST(CAST(available_bytes AS FLOAT)/ CAST(total_bytes AS FLOAT) AS DECIMAL(18,2)) * 100 AS [Space Free %] 
FROM sys.master_files 
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_os_volume_stats(database_id, file_id)
)
Select * from Disk_Size'

could you suggest anyone what is wrong that query.

Yes, I got it & working now. ) is missing.

But the above query retrieve datafile mount point only. it not fetched all available logical drive name.

I don't have much time today but do a search for PowerShell and WMI for disk space.

Maybe a permissions issue? I don't see why drives wouldn't show up for that query.

That code is extremely inefficient though, since it pulls drive info once for every file, instead of just once per distinct drive.

Here's sample code that will query for each drive letter only once:

    SELECT 
        GETDATE() AS date_captured,
        mf.drive, ovs.logical_volume_name AS drive_name,
        CAST(ovs.available_bytes / 1024.0 / 1024.0 / 1024.0 AS decimal(9, 1)) AS free_gb,
        CAST(ovs.total_bytes / 1024.0 / 1024.0 / 1024.0 AS decimal(9, 1)) AS total_gb,
        CAST(mf.data_pages / 128.0 / 1024.0 AS decimal(9, 1)) AS data_gb, 
        CAST(mf.log_pages / 128.0 / 1024.0 AS decimal(9, 1)) AS log_gb,
        mf.data_file_count, mf.log_file_count
    FROM (
        SELECT 
            LEFT(physical_name, 2) AS drive,
            SUM(CASE WHEN type_desc = 'LOG' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) AS data_file_count,
            SUM(CASE WHEN type_desc = 'LOG' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS log_file_count,
            SUM(CASE WHEN type_desc = 'LOG' THEN 0 ELSE size END) AS data_pages,
            SUM(CASE WHEN type_desc = 'LOG' THEN size ELSE 0 END) AS log_pages,
            MAX(database_id) AS database_id
        FROM sys.master_files mf1
        GROUP BY LEFT(mf1.physical_name, 2)
    ) AS mf
    CROSS APPLY (
        SELECT TOP (1) mf2.file_id
        FROM sys.master_files mf2
        WHERE LEFT(mf2.physical_name, 2) = mf.drive AND
            mf2.database_id = mf.database_id
    ) AS ca1
    CROSS APPLY sys.dm_os_volume_stats(mf.database_id, ca1.file_id) AS ovs

Yeah, I checked that first query. some servers all available drive retrieved and some servers not retrieved. could you suggest me what kind of permission required for fetching all logical drives. all servers VMware virtual machine.

Thank you

See the following post. It even finds thumb-drives and produces an emailed report for things that are "out of spec" as well as a "Removable Media Finder". If you're absolutely not allowed to use xp_CmdShell, you should still look because there's a whole lot of ancillary technique in it that you could use through a different "vehicle". WMI is the heavy worker bee here.
