I don't know a good alternative but I do know why it doesn't work. FindFirst
iterates subdirectories of a directory but \\IT_Support doesn't actually
have any subdirectories (nor is it a directory itself). Instead it has a
collection of shared drives (a very different concept). What you need is a
way of iterating through the accessible shared folders of a machine. I
suspect there are some API type calls which will do that but I haven't tried
it myself.
