List of Network Drives

[pankajit09]

How to get the list of all the network drives present in a machine ?

[dlite922]

if you can get that information from the command line, PHP can do it.

see shell_exec()

Heya, pankajit.

That's a tricky one because you can technically mount a drive anywhere in Linux (dunno if it's the same under Windows, but you haven't specified which OS your server is running).

You might try parsing the output of the `df` command (via shell_exec() as Dan mentioned above).

I will go ahead and move this thread to the Linux forum for now to see if they can help you out.

My OS is Windows XP Professional.

In that case, the Windows Forum is the place for this to be. I'm moving it there.

couple of possible ways

either

' net use '

or using VB script , I will try to post the code for the vbscript if you need it but it may take me some time before I get a chance to work it out.

also your question is a bit unclear so it will help if you can explain what you mean by network drives , do you mean network shares or open connections to another w/s / server?

Thanks.

I mean Network Shares.

Whats the link for this page in that forum ?

You're already here - the link stays the same, but you'll find it under "Forums -> System Administration -> Windows" now, if you want to direct to it.

net use will show any current shares you have to another PC and you could probably find some way of parsing it using the for command.

again 'net share' will show any shares that your computer has, also there is a registry key that holds all the information on any shares -

" HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SYSTEM\Curr entControlSet\S ervices\lanmans erver\Shares "

if i have a chance I will try to work out some vbscript to enumerate the drives in the computer probably through WMI and then output any that are shares or something similar

also just to confirm are you looking to output the shares provided by your computer or the links that you have open to another computer?
