How to get the UNC path of a driveletter using VBScript?

Hi all

I have an application that needs to have a certain driveletter mapped to a certain UNC path.
Map I:\ to \\<servername>\<foldername>
In most cases the users have this driveletter mapped to the correct source. But if they don't I want to map it.

I need a script that check
If I: is mapped
If I: is mapped, check if it is mapped to the correct server and folder.
If I: is mapped to the correct - then OK
If I: is mapped, but not to the correct server and folder - disconnect drive and connect to correct server and folder
If I: is not mapped - connect to correct server and folder.


I have found a script for disconnecting and connecting drives so this should be OK.
What I haven't been able to solve so far is how to resolve the UNC of a mapped drive and run a check against this string.

Can anyone help me with this?

Hi WiseUser

Thanks for guiding me.

I had to make some small changes to your script in order to make it work.
I guess thats part of your idea, make me think.

If you have any comments to my changes please let me know.

If objDrives.Item(i) = sMYDRIVE Then

fldr = LCase(objDrives.Item(i+1))

wshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive sMYDRIVE, True
wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive sMYDRIVE, sMYUNC

Else

wshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive sMYDRIVE, True

wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive sMYDRIVE, sMYUNC

If objDrives.Item(i) = sMYDRIVE Then

Remember that comparisons are case-sensitive... if "objDrives.Item(i)" is "I:", the above statement will be false.[;)]

Something like this?

On Error Resume Next

Const sMYDRIVE = "J:"
Const sMYUNC = "\\127.0.0.1\d$"

Set oWSN = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set oDrives = oWSN.EnumNetworkDrives
For i = 0 to oDrives.Count - 1 Step 2

If oDrives.Item(i) = sMYDRIVE Then sUNC = LCase(oDrives.Item(i+1))

Next

If sUNC = LCase(sMYUNC) Then

Msgbox "OK"

Else

oWSN.RemoveNetworkDrive sMYDRIVE, True

oWSN.MapNetworkDrive sMYDRIVE, sMYUNC

End If

Set oDrives = Nothing
Set oWSN = Nothing

Please note that I haven't tested this... I've no idea whether it'll work!
