Export mapped drives/printers via WMI remotely

Reply Quote

I'm trying to find a good way to remotely export a user's mapped drives and printers via WMI. Does anyone have any experience doing this? One of the other script guys here wrote a script that he said would do it, but it only works if run on the local computer. I'm trying to get it to run remotely so that I can run a batch against a bunch of users.

Thanks.

Hi sfelice,

The problem is that mapped drives and printers are stored in the HKCU portion of the registry, and it's really difficult to access HKCU remotely.

A much easier way is to write something in a logon or logoff script that would export the information you need.

HTH,

Bill
