Question : EnumNetworkDrives Method in batch script

hey,

is there any way to check above in a batch file ?
my idea was to play with net use, but how can i capture specific drive UNC ?

one last thing after i got the unc how can i play with the parts ?
what i mean for example :

\\serverA\public

how to "pull" serverA and lets say ping it ?
or check if the folder name it's public and if not remap another folder ?

if i asking to much in one question just say :-)

thanks

That makes sense. But do your folks need to use persistent network drives? It would make things easier if drive mappings wouldn't survive a reboot.

Having said that, let's make a first attempt.
It's not easy to decide the subnet thing - how should that work? Should it be a decision based
  1. on IP address  -  dangerous if you use subnet masks differing from Classes A,B,C, or different subnet masks in the branches, 
  2. or DNS names - difficult, as the full qualified name might not appear in net use, and a DNS query will not help. 
The following snippet is based on
  • each server is reachable via ping
     
  • we are using Class C only
     
It does not matter if a drive mapping or only UNC is used. The net use /d is only echoed, for test reasons. You can remove the echo (word only) to execute it.
