we don't have admin access to file server. we just only map the shares. so. iwould like to get the volume of each folder under the file share.

Thanks in Advance

You will need access to the system that's running these CIFS shares, readonly should be enough. This PS is designed to run netapp ONTAP commands to gather data and output to a CSV. Volumes to shares don't always have a 1 to 1 ratio either. There are times when you can have 20 shares off various qtrees map all within a single volume.
