 Volume in drive \\root\share is Data
 Volume Serial Number is 0123-4567

 Directory of \\root\share

11/11/2011  12:34    <DIR>          BUILTIN\Administrators .
11/11/2011  12:34    <DIR>          BUILTIN\Administrators ..
               0 File(s)              0 bytes
               2 Dir(s)  123,456,789,000 bytes free
