Mapped network drives per user?
Olan Angulo
Is their anyway to have the last known users mapped drives appear under the enhanced view of a computer?
ideally i would think it would be listed under the "shares" view within a pc as their is information relating to permissions domain and user but all i ever see is locally mapped drives ( IPC$, ADMIN$, C$,etc)

Hi Olan,
This is not a current feature in our product but we did have a customer respond on another forum post that they did this through a script.

I know this post is 5 years old now but I came across this post when I was looking for a way to inventory mapped drives for all users on a machine. The post that Jason linked to wouldn't allow for the information to be collected by PDQ Inventory so I decided to make my own script. It basically loads each user's registry hive, checks for shared drives, saves that info to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive and then kicks off a PDQ Inventory scan to collect the info. I also added the ability to find and replace parts of network drive remote path to assist with a file server migration.
Here is the script I made if anybody else is interested: https://github.com/johnwhirsch/PDQ-Deploy---inventory-and-update-network-drives-for-all-users
We created a PowerShell Scanner that looks for mapped drives: https://github.com/pdq/PowerShell-Scanners/tree/master/PowerShell%20Scanners/Mapped%20Drives
