Was this done ON it101 or remotely to it? What drives should be seen, ie:A: - floppyC: - hard driveD: - DVDE: - hard drive partition

Can you run WBEMtest ON it101? We need to verify that the class is working properly locally. I'd test both win32_networkconnection and win32_mappedlogicaldisk.

working properly from 1t101 using rootcimv2

I realized I might have been getting bogus results since I was logged on to the remote machine with the same credentials as the local machine. Now querying my XP box remotely:win32_mappedlogicaldisk = Nothingwin32_logicaldisk = all but networked driveswin32_networkconnection = nothingMore along the lines I think of your situation. Not that I have any idea on how to fix this.

I can remotely get MappedLogicalDisk to work but only if I use alternate credentials for the currently logged on user. Certainly not practical or secure.

There's no quick, easy or complete way to discover what drives a user has mapped remotely. The process as I see it would be to 1. identify the currently logged on user2. Retrieve their SID3. Connect to the HKU*SID*Network and enumerateThis won't show drives mapped as part of the logon script, but hopefully you already know what those are.

I think the original intent is to quickly document mapped network drives on a user's desktop. If that's the case, one way might be to add some code to the end of a logon script to enumerate all mapped drives and write the information to a database or text file on a network share.

Ok - I was wrong. The limit is set to 15 minutes.
At a commad prompt type this:
net config server

and get back this
