VBScript - Monitor share for new file

I found the below code in the MS script repository can it be modified to monitor a network share or can it only run locally?

I have a NAS which is our file server and I need to know whena new file is deposited on one of the shares.

Code:
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
        strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colMonitoredEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _
    ("SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE " _
        & "Targetinstance ISA 'CIM_DirectoryContainsFile' and " _
            & "TargetInstance.GroupComponent= " _
                & "'Win32_Directory.Name=""c:\\\\scripts""'")

Do
    Set objLatestEvent = colMonitoredEvents.NextEvent
    Wscript.Echo objLatestEvent.TargetInstance.PartComponent
Loop


Thank you

I'm pretty certain that an event-driven WMI script can only be run locally. This would need to run on the server.

Thanks Nilpo,

Is there another method you might recommend?

Sure. I have two recommendations.

The first being the obvious, write a WMI event script and run it locally on the server. You can write events to a text log or database and check them remotely.

The second, would be to use the FileSystemObject. Since this can be used against remote directories, you could create a simple timer script that checks the file count for a given directory. Changes in this number would indicate a new file. It wouldn't be exactly real-time, but it could be close.
