#192256 - 2009-02-13 06:15 PM script to read persistant drive mappings from registry
coder coder Fresh Scripter Registered: 2009-01-14 Posts: 39	Does anyone have a script to read persistent drive mappings from the registry? I want to(in script) note the current drive mappings before I remap them using the MapDrive Function. Fomr what I can determine they are stored in "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Network\Persistant" with subkeys being the drives. Edited by coder (2009-02-13 06:27 PM) Edit Reason: add reg key

These return each of the keys or values from a registry path, one by one. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

I just mashed this together using Kixomatic. See if it will get you going.

Break On
$strComputer = "."
$objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" + $strComputer + "\root\cimv2")
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkConnection",,48)
For each $objItem in $colItems
  if $objItem.Persistent
   "AccessMask: " + $objItem.AccessMask ?
   "Caption: " + $objItem.Caption ?
   "Comment: " + $objItem.Comment ?
   "ConnectionState: " + $objItem.ConnectionState ?
   "ConnectionType: " + $objItem.ConnectionType ?
   "Description: " + $objItem.Description ?
   "DisplayType: " + $objItem.DisplayType ?
   "InstallDate: " + $objItem.InstallDate ?
   "LocalName: " + $objItem.LocalName ?
   "Name: " + $objItem.Name ?
   "Persistent: " + $objItem.Persistent ?
   "ProviderName: " + $objItem.ProviderName ?
   "RemoteName: " + $objItem.RemoteName ?
   "RemotePath: " + $objItem.RemotePath ?
   "ResourceType: " + $objItem.ResourceType ?
   "Status: " + $objItem.Status ?
   "UserName: " + $objItem.UserName ?
   ?
  endif
Next

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	just to waste some time, I shall write it in this quick reply box... Code: for $charcode=65 to 90 $driveConnectedTo = readvalue("HKCU\Network\"+chr($charcode),"RemotePath") if instr($driveConnectedTo,"\\") ? "Drive " + chr($CharCode) + " is PERSISTENTLY connected to: " + $driveConnectedTo endif next just like the original poster suggested, the info is in the registry. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
