Windows Determine what drives users have mapped

I want to know who has which drives mapped, so I can push out some standard drive letters to everyone without overwriting what people are already using.

(Using Active Directory on a network of Windows 2k/XP machines)

 

"net use" in the command prompt (without the ") will produce you a list.

 

That's actually a really cool command, but is there a way for me (as a Domain Admin) to run this command on everyone's machine and have it send me the result for each person in our domain?

 

Build a script to output the results of the command into a txtfile named the same as the username, then write this file to a network share (with write permissions for everyone)

Shouldn't be too hard in VBScript, and then it could be set to run on startup via a GPO.

 

ahh, good idea. thanks guys!

 

Oh just thought, you may need to also stop the script running more than once per user too.

 

Yeah, I assumed I might just have it check to see if the temp file exists, then if it doesn't, create the temp file with the output of "net use", then send a copy over to a network share.

 

Code:

If NOT exist \\network\share\%username%.txt net use >>\\network\share\%username%.txt

should do the job in a logon script
