Input: A computer name on the internal network
Out: Disk space total and remaining on all drives.

I doubt there's any solution directly integrated into .NET to support this
for network drives, thought it might be possible if the drive itself is
mapped locally on the computer.

Failing that, your best bet is probably to investigate WMI and try to run a
remote WMI query on the computers in the network.

Microsoft did the work for you.
WMI Code Creator v1.0
Brief Description
The WMI Code Creator tool allows you to generate VBScript, C#, and VB .NET code that uses WMI to complete a management task such as querying for management data, executing a method from a WMI class, or receiving event notifications using WMI.
