Getting the list of shares connected to a machine

Question

hi All,

Consider that i have connected to multiple shares of a remote machine( \\machineA\share1, \\machineA\share2....) along with shares on other remote machines.

Now my question is how to find only those shares which are connected to a particular machine. For eg, only those shares which are connected to machineA.

I already came across WNetOpenEnum and WNetEnumResource. But these are highly inefficient that they will return all shares which are connected to my machine and then i will have to search through the results for the shares connected to machineA:(

I need to know if there is some other function, using which i can find the share.

I am working on VC++ 6.0.

edit: Hey guys having another trouble. Whenever i try to connect to a share on the machine i get the following error: "The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to" Has anyone encountered this problem and how was it solved

Answer 1

Iterating through all shares and only picking the ones you want, to me, looks as efficient as it gets. Is there some circumstance why you can't do it? (except laziness ;))

Answer 2

foreach (string systemName in systemNames)
 System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories("\\"+systemName+"\");

Answer 3

To resolve your lockout problem, log onto a the target server (Or, if it's on a domain, log onto any domain controller on that domain), go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users & Computers, navigate to the User you're logging in as, and unlock it.

If the system is not on a domain, simply log onto it and unlock the account via the "Local users & Groups" tool in compmgmt.msc.
