Search for already mapped network drives on remote computer.

I'm setting up a PC for a user and I am trying to find out what mapped drives (drive letters and to where) are on their remote computer. Is there a way to do this without logging on to their computer and going to their My Computer and seeing this?

Is this user on a domain? You could check to see if there are any drive mapping logon scripts.

Download the softperfect network scanner. It is a free tool that identifies open shares on a target network. I use it for pen testing constantly.

I dont totally understand the wording of the question but if you want to see if there are any shared folders ON the computer, you can goto ADUC and right click the computer and click Manage.

Assuming you are in an AD environment.

The PowerShell way:

get-wmiobject -class "Win32_MappedLogicalDisk" -namespace "root\CIMV2" -computername computertosearch

You can set a variable to a collection of computers and scan them all at once. Export-csv can make an easy report. Blah blah you know the drill...

I Knew Hero would chip in with a powershell script to solve this!
