All,
I need to run Hardware Inventory to get users desktop and documents size. I like to run the batch file as a package to a large number of win7 laptops. If anyone has any knowledge, this subject, please help me out.
We are planning to refresh,and move users desktop and documents to our Network drive, before we do that need to know how much space we need. if you need more information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance .

I don't know much about SCCM, but a quick Google search of "windows script folder size" comes up with a bunch of options for getting this done through batch scripts or PowerShell commands. Have you tried any of those? - JasonEgg 6 years ago

You can try this or any such file.
This one is from https://superuser.com/questions/837016/how-can-i-check-the-size-of-a-folder-from-the-windows-command-line
$totalsize=[long]0;gci -File -r -fo -ea Silent|%{$totalsize+=$_.Length};$totalsize
You can see the result of running this file in C:\Users\nasingh\Desktop\rental folder below
PS C:\Users\nasingh\Desktop\rental> $totalsize=[long]0;gci -File -r -fo -ea Silent|%{$totalsize+=$_.Length};$totalsize

You can append the results on a file on a remote share. Or you can generate individual text files and later merge them. Some data manipulation with MS Excel would put it in a single .xlsx file.
