Andrew,
Have a look at ADSI I believe it will show you the client side drive
mappings, I have used it in the past to add drive mappings to users when
they log on! haven't used it for a while myself though.

Subject: FN-FORUM: Client Side Drive Mappings to UNC paths?



Hi y'all.

I'm writing a smallish Intranet system to allow users to pick up and view
document images on the local network. However, as with all users, their
drive mappings are not going to be consistent. Does anyone know of any way I
can pick up the UNC path from the drive mapping using client-side code?

E.g. User uses an to pick up t:\batch001\doc001.tif

On this machine, t:\ is mapped to "\\RAID\client01\matters\", so what I want
is for the ASP.NET page to pick up
"\\RAID\client01\matters\batch001\doc001.tif". However, on the server, t:\
is mapped to "\\EXCHANGE01\", so if I go with the t:\ mapping, it'll look
for \\EXCHANGE01\batch001\doc001.tif etc.

Uploading the files isn't an option because there are about 90 users and 2
million images on the RAID system and politics won't allow me to get the
drive mappings standardised.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Andrew
