net use remote user
Can anyone show me the correct syntax for using net use to see what drives a remote user has to their account? I know if I enter net use it will list all drives I have to my account on my PC - I wondered if with domain admin rights I can do a remote net use and specify a user as a paramter to see what they have for troubleshooting purposes. I cant get this to work, can someone show me an example syntax as opposed to a link. Thanks

From what I know you can't display mapped drives for a remote user using just net use. However you could create a script and in a domain enviroment configure it to run using a logon script or something. The script would have to be run with adminiastrative credential to pass the authentication phase, then run the net use cmd on the host then retrieve the results from that output. This could be done through scripting but you whould probably ask on a different forum like: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ITCG/threadsMCTS - Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
