Anybody familiar with a way (preferably with a wsh script), to track the peak usage of a folder in a network share?

We have an application that loads a library index from the local servers, then loads the actual libraries from a central cdtower.  Unfortunately the cdtower doesn't track sessions.  What I could do is log into each server and watch how many people connect to this particular folder on the share, but with 15 servers it just isn't practical.  So what I would like to do is have a script request how many computers are connected to a particular folder (or file), like every 5 minutes, and just do this all day.  Then I can take the highest number from each server and add them up, giving me the highwater mark I'm looking for.

I don't know of any script that can do that (though wsh may be able to). I know you can write an app to sit and monitor traffic on a particular port using .NET. I'm sure you can do the same in other languages as well. In .NET, you'd want to look at the System.Net namespace.
