Get Mapped Drives using .net

[MarvelManiac]

I have found a script online that does this beautifully

2 downfalls. It will not retrieve the drives while my techs are working VPN, and it takes about 10 seconds to return the results

Is there a way I can use this method if I know the SID?

$computers = 'Server1'
$key = 'S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXX'
$valuename = 'Network'
[Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('Users', $computer)

You cannot get drives from a remote registry. If you use the SID the user must be logged in.

[MarvelManiac]

Yup, the user will be logged in.

figured using remote registry would be much faster than the other processes.

Do you know of a quicker solution?

What is it you are looking for a solution to? What is the purpose of this?

If a user connects over a VPN they are not logged into a remote system. All drives are mapped locally over the VPN. Get-PsDrive is all you need.

Trying to return the Drive and Path of a logged on users network drives from HKEY_USERS using remote registry

I have found using remote registry is much quicker than powershell commands


Ignore VPN.

Show technicians the drives and the paths so our build guys can map them

Yes, I can export the registry but that will map drives they may no longer have access to.. So in our form if I put

Z: \\server1\accounting
Y: \\server1\records

The build team actually maps these and can tell us they no longer have access.

I'm trying to prevent moving bad data from one PC to another

[jvierra]

What drivers and data are you looking for in the registry? There are no drivers associated with mapped drives. You seem to use "drivers" a nd "drives" interchangeably. They are not the same.

Your question is much too vague to even guess at an answer.

[MarvelManiac]

Hmm, not sure where you see I typed Drivers but I did come to this solution
So it's working in the ISE but it only returns the length in a DGV

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. $computer = 'Server1'
2. $regkey = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey([Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive]::Users, $Computer)
3. $ref = $regKey.OpenSubKey("S-1-5-21-XXXXXXX\Network");
4. $keys = $ref.GetSubKeyNames()
5. $results = foreach ($key in $keys)
6. {
7.    $ref2 = $regKey.OpenSubKey("S-1-5-21-XXXXXXX\Network\$key");
8.    "$key $($ref2.GetValue("RemotePath"))"
9. }  
10.  
11. $results

I'd like to return something like this

but I'm stuck. I might just have to put it in a textbox
