RE: Help: Query All Network Drives - Available or Not

[Giuoco, Aaron]

 Win32::DriveInfo might be of some use.  Get all of the drive letters with DrivesInUse().  I guess testing can be done with a DriveSpace() slice.  If it's successful, the drive is accessible.

Subject: Help: Query All Network Drives - Available or Not

I have a problem trying to query all network drives that are currently used by my machine. If I perform a simple "net use" command, I get the following response:

New connections will be remembered.

Status       Local     Remote                    Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unavailable  L:        \\rtpgsa.raleigh.ibm.com\rtpgsa
                                                 Microsoft Windows Network

                                                 Microsoft Windows Network

Unavailable  T:        \\MICOHEN3-AFS\nt         Microsoft Windows Network
Unavailable  U:        \\MICOHEN3-AFS\user       Microsoft Windows Network
Unavailable  V:        \\MICOHEN3-AFS\vlib       Microsoft Windows Network

Disconnected Y:        \\squeaker\c$             Microsoft Windows Network
OK           Z:        \\micohen2.raleigh.ibm.com\g$
                                                 Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.


However, if I use either the Win32::AdminMisc::GetDrives or Win32::FileOp::Mapped commands to query the network drives, I only get responses indicating the two drives, "X" and "Y", which in "net use" are "disconnected", and "Z", which is "OK".

How do I get a list of ALL network drives, "Available", "Unavailable", and "Disconnected", without actually using the "net use" command?

Thank you for your assistance!
