is there a way to us "IF THEN ELSE" logic to check if a drive exists from the result of the "SELECT" query then skip that drive and remove the rest of the drives?

that should have read:

Get-WMIObject -query "Select DeviceID,ProviderName From Win32_MappedLogicalDisk"

What if you want to know about the Currently logged on User of a remote computer? How do I enumerate THEIR mapped network drive?

Is there anyway of being able to import that info into a new machine i.e. using the script to export the mapped drives and then import them onto a new machine?

Thanks in advance

Thanks, that sounds like what I'm running up against.

Looks like I'll have to find a way around that.

Thanks again.

@Lawrence If the drives are mapped via the session of the interactive user and WMI is not using that session then the drives will not be visible to WMI.

I'm assuming it's not a permissions issue as I can get the free space from C: drive on that same remote machine.

Though these machines are a part of an AD domain, and I've seen mention of sessions for the mapped drives which I've been trying to puzzle out, but haven't gotten anywhere yet unfortunately.

Could the sessions thing be what's stopping my script from working ?

When using WMI to connect to a remote machine to run a query, there are several things that can possibly go wrong. The first is permission, in general the account you use to connect to the remote machine must be a member of the local admin group. The connectServer method allows you to specify alternate credentials for a remote connection see the MSDN docs http://bit.ly/eNgNlE In addition, there can be profile issues, firewall issues, and other potential problems. Take a look at the articles in my WMI library to see if the information there will help http://bit.ly/hpaSwy

I'm trying to do this in Javascript and it works when connecting to the Local machine, but not remotely.

Stuck on this and I have no idea what's going wrong !
