How do you enumerate domain users mapped drives????
I'm migrating file shares from Windows 2003 file cluster to a Windows 2012 R2 DFS shares. Unfortunately, users that are mapped to those shares off the file cluster are not being mapped via GPO or logon script. I discovered that users have manual static mappings
that reconnect at logon. This, of course, makes it difficult to notify users or update network mappings. The answer? To see who mapping to those shares. Yes, I've looked at Open Files from Computer Management but I also need to double check this against a
script that can enumerate domain users mapped drives.
I've tried the following and it returns nothing:
"GET-WMIOBJECT -CLASS WIN32_MAPPEDLOGICALDISK -COMPUTERNAME "NAME" | SELECT NAME, PROVIDERNAME"
Any know of powershell script that would work??? Thanks!
here are two similar questions, the responses to which might be of help:

The long and the short of it is that it is not that easy to accomplish remotely. The simplest solution appears to be to run a script in the context of the logon session whose drive mappings you want.

Report on remote users mapped drives
After a very thorough search, I can't find anyone else who has had this question answered.
I have a need to on-the-fly report on the mapped drives and their letters of users on remote computers. Running "Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_MappedLogicalDisk | select Name, ProviderName" only returns my drives under my credentials, not the remote user. Looking
at HKU:\sid\network apparently only reports persisent mapped drives or drives mapped by the customer and not drives mapped by logon script that are not persistent.
There doesn't seem to be a way to do this on-the-fly which is dissapointing, so I'm hoping you'll have a trick up your sleeve!
The only way I can figure to get the information, but not on the fly, is to have a logon script run as the user and grab the info and save it somewhere. I'm really hoping not to resort to that. All of that becomes historical info and won't reflect changes
that happen after logon, so it's not going to always be a true reflection of reality.
The key seems to be running a wmi query as someone else that you don't have credentials for. Is that possible? Or do you have another suggestion?
IanI believe this post may already be closed. I, however, would like to add my findings: When I run this against different pc's with different users logged on: Get-WmiObject
-Class Win32_MappedLogicalDisk -ComputerName <remote computer> | select Name, ProviderName
(Keep in mind that I'm a local admin on my pc as well as the destination pc's
as well.)
1. The logged on user is non-admin on their pc.
Mapped drives are not retrieved
2. The logged on user is admin on their pc.
Mapped drives are retrieved
3. I'm logged on to the remote pc (local admin)
Mapped drives are retrieved
Conclusion: As long as the target pc logged on user is local admin on that pc then the
mapped network drives will be pulled by the previously mentioned command. Otherwise, it will come back empty.
A question posted previously was: "I'm
curious why you need to know mapped drives??" In my case, I am trying to back up mapped network drives for all domain users. However, logon or logoff scripts are not
an option.
The real question should be: Why is the previously mentioned command not pulling the mapped network drives when the logged on user is not a local admin on the target pc?
I believe the answer is that the drives are not mapped to the remote computer per se, but to the user's process on the remote computer. And while an admin on that computer has significant power over the hardware and operating system, it cannot take control
of the process, which is locked by the user's credentials.
Consider remote control. My regular account is logged onto another computer. I run mstsc to establish a remote control session on that remote system under the same credentials. The effect is to disconnect the other remote session and lock the system on its
console, and for the new session to inherit the original process, seeing the same desktop with the same apps open.
I then run mstsc to establish another remote control session, this time using an account that is an administrator on that system. It tells me my regular account is already logged on, and gives me two options, abort my new session, or log the user out. using
my admin credentials, I cannot take over the user's session and see what applications he has open or what drives he may have mapped.

How do you repair a user acct?
How do you repair a user acct?
I seem to have a corrupt admin user acct.
I created another admin acct and the problem does not re-occur. I can open it by Command O and also clicking the finder.
All other GUI mouse functions appear to be working properly. This problem also exhibits itself on a Jump drive if it is mounted.
Additionally the "A" icon on the Applications folder mysteriously disappeared. It now displays just a plain folder.
I am on a MBP running 10.6.8
Thank you all in advanceEverything else seems to be working fine.
I opened terminal and something is puzzling
it says:
bryinc-g5:~ bgould$
This seems to refer to an older mac I have in my office.
It's not even on nor has it been for sometime.
My MBP that I am experiencing this issue with was never on the network when the G5 was in use.
The user name is what the G5 had but is not what this mac is using.
Very weird
I am not sure I understood what you meant by dragging the house Icon from the root folder also
This is what I have so far

On an IMAC,
how do you block other users id showing up on your wifi network?Can you clarify what you mean?
If you're seeing multiple wifi networks as well as yours, that's normal. It will display any networks within range. It doesn't mean you're connected to them or that they're on your network.

How to allow non domain users to map to print drivers?
Greetings,
We have a Windows Server 2008 (non R2) 32 bit server that acts as print server. It's also on a domain. Users who are on the domain can easily add the print driver simply by going to device and printers and clicking Add Printer and selecting Network since
I list it in the AD.
The problem arise with well over 100 realtors that walk in and out and need to print. These users are not on the domain. They need to have the print drivers on their computers. I'm hoping we can at least get them to map to the drivers as opposed to unending
local installs.
The management does not want to hear about security, and wants the simplest possible way for their realtors to get up and printing from their computers when they arrive to the office.
Any advice is welcomed.
Thank you!In the end they got a domain user account that they share to add printers...
Thanks for sharing in the forum. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

How do you move a user account to a different drive?
I recently bought a Mac Pro and installed a second hard drive. The plan is to have the boot drive contain the Opperating system and priogram files and have all user accounts and documents on the second drive.
How do I move my user account (which is currently on the boot drive) to my secondary drive?This used to be done using NetInfo Manager, but that's not part of Leopard. I assume you're running Leopard since you've just bought the Mac Pro.
In Leopard, location of home directory is controlled by System Preferences -> Accounts. Select the user in the list and control-click to bring up "Advanced Options..."
Choose the directory on your second drive which corresponds to the one in "Users" that you copied. Don't change any of the other things.
By the way, it's always a good idea to have an extra admin account with home directory on the boot drive. That way, if something goes wrong with your second drive, you can still log in. As the admin, you can correct problems with your "primary" or "main" account. -
How to add an image from mapped drives?
Hi all,
Currently I've a BSP service running some picture are stored within the service directory (using import MIME) in the WEBAS like ...
http://webhost/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zris/GFX/logo.gif
but now how can I display in the same service pictures taken from a mapped drive ? (ie: l:\pictures\logo.gif) without importing them into the WEBAS service?
Is there a possibility to create a virtual directory in the service mapped to the l:\pictures or something like that?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
ErikHi all thanks for your answers,

that's what I was using during my test, but the thing is that it need to have the drive mapped locally on the computer running the browser. Now I just want to map those drives on the WAS.
about installing apache on the file server, well I'm in a big corporate ... so you know ... security, policies, dmz etc.. etc...
I will check out the parameter.
