Network Drives and Printers

[declan]

I was wondering if it's possible to report a users mapped drives and printers. I know some of the information is stored in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections but I cant see how I'd enter this into the Custom information field.

For the network drives they're listed by letter F G H etc in a string called RemotePath - this gives the server and share name - can I get this information out. I don't want to have to create a custom entry for every drive from F to Z if there is another way. Not all our users would have a G drive for instance and those that do would often be mapped to different shares. If I create an entry for all drives from f - z will I have a load of empty spaces on the reports where there is no corresponding drive letter.

For the printers the Key names under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections are the printer details - server name and printer name. Can I get the keynames to show in my reports

thanks

No, you won't be able to get anything out of the HKCU for a user, as the scan takes place under the SYSTEM account. However you could try it and see what the scan under the system account shows up - unfortunately, you would have to create different entries for each drive letter, and if that was present in the registry but with no value, then it would show as blank....

Again, for printers, only those installed under the system account are shown, as it is not possible to scan under individual user accounts.

We hope to include mapped drives as a default feature in the next release of systemhound
