How do I get the fully qualified path of a share in Windows?

if you want to see the full path and you have admin privs on the remote workstation then the following will work

wmic /node:hostname share


If you are asking how to see UNCs that you have browsed to but not mapped, you can do that by typing net use without a drive letter after it.

Also, what you listed isn't a fully qualified path. For it to be fully qualified, it would have to have the domain included in the server name.

If you are asking to see what shares a server has available, you cannot do this from a client. But you can do this on the server by using net share with no other parameters.


The "wmic" command didn't work for me but I was able to see all the shares and their absolute path (Resource) by executing this on the server that contains the shares:

net share

Given:

  • A share name of E$
  • A machine name of MYmachine
  • A domain of MYdomain.local

A cross domain fully qualified mapping to a machine share would be formatted like:

\\\MYmachine.MYdomain.local\E$
