List mapped network drives from the command line to text file

Solution 1:

net use > mapped_drives.txt should dump a list of mapped drives to the text file mapped_drives.txt

Although I tested this on Windows 7, Microsoft says net use will work on Windows XP

Solution 2:

NET USE was only displaying the mapped drives for my current user and current connection. After some more googling, I got here:

The drive mapping info is stored in the Registry, look in HKEY_USERS\USER\Network

So I did a reg query HKEY_USERS to list the users (which were some windows codes), then I queried all of them individually, for example:

reg query HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4205028929-649740040-1951280400-500\Network /s

If you query all of them, then you get all the mappings for all users.

Solution 3:

Save the following as a .vbs file and run it. It'll create a MappedDrives.txt in the folder the vbs file is run from. You can replace the strComptuer with another computer's name and get the list off of a remote computer as well.

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objOutFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(".\MappedDrives.txt")

Set colDrives = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * From Win32_LogicalDisk Where DriveType = 4")

For Each objDrive in colDrives
    objOutFile.WriteLine(objDrive.DeviceID & " (" & _
      objDrive.ProviderName & ")")
Next

objOutFile.Close
