List Mapped Network Drives from command line to text file

Question

Is there a command that can be used from the command line to output a list of the mapped network drives on the local system and their location on the network to a txt file? This will only be used on Windows-based systems running XP.

Answer 1

net use > mapped_drives.txt should dump a list of mapped drives to the text file mapped_drives.txt

Although I tested this on Windows 7, Microsoft says net use will work on Windows XP

Answer 2

Save the following as a .vbs file and run it. It'll create a MappedDrives.txt in the folder the vbs file is run from. You can replace the strComptuer with another computer's name and get the list off of a remote computer as well.

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objOutFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(".\MappedDrives.txt")

Set colDrives = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * From Win32_LogicalDisk Where DriveType = 4")

For Each objDrive in colDrives
    objOutFile.WriteLine(objDrive.DeviceID & " (" & _
      objDrive.ProviderName & ")")
Next

objOutFile.Close

Answer 3

This works

dir \ComputerName\sharedDirectory

On windows 7 the directory must must be shared for "everyone" Right click the drive letter >> share with >> specific people select "everyone" form the dropdown list and add it. Then the dir command should work.
