How can i remotely check the mapped network drives of another user if we're on the same network WIN10

Question

_{Thursday, February 28, 2019 12:10 PM}

So I'm trying to provide users access to files/folders but they will usually send us requests like "we need access to K:\folder\folder\folder, because we have hundreds of thousands of folders K:\ doesn't really mean a lot to us.

But what we really need is the full UNC path. We can connect remotely via SCCM (and get it that way) but i was hoping we there was a way i could do it without involving the customer, So SCCM has a built in remote CMD tool, so if i specify their PC name i was hoping running net use would pull the information i need back.

Is there a script i can run remotely that will provide me the full UNC like \server\server\folder\folder\folder instead of K: for a remote user on the same network as myself?

NET USE only displays the mapped drives for current user and current connection. We can’t use this command to remotely check the UNC path of customer’s mapped drives.

What I can think of is you(on SCCM remote desktop) or your user use this net use command to get the UNC path of current mapped drives, then you check this drive’s state by address.

Another, use a small tool called Path Copy Copy on GitHub (https://pathcopycopy.github.io/), let your users install this tool and when you need to know their mapped drives’ UNC path, users can easily check it for you via this tool.
