How do I get the fully qualified path of a share in Windows?

Question

I know that I can find out what a drive is mapped to with:

net use X:

But how do I resolve a share easily? Like \\JoshPC\SomeSharedFolder

Is there a way to get the fully qualified path?

Answer 1

if you want to see the full path and you have admin privs on the remote workstation then the following will work

wmic /node:hostname share

Answer 2

If you are asking how to see UNCs that you have browsed to but not mapped, you can do that by typing net use without a drive letter after it.

Also, what you listed isn't a fully qualified path. For it to be fully qualified, it would have to have the domain included in the server name.

If you are asking to see what shares a server has available, you cannot do this from a client. But you can do this on the server by using net share with no other parameters.

Answer 3

...and rounding out the possibilities discussed by MarkM: If you're trying to see where on Josh's PC the share SomeSharedFolder is on his hard drive, you can't do that from the client. From your perspective, the share name is the full path.
