Get drive letter from share name?

[grunewald6]

Does anyone know a way to determine what drive letter a remote share is located on? I want to be able to look at a share and determine how much space is left on the drive that that share is located on but will not always know the drive letter beforehand to use the DriveSpaceFree command. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Look at DriveGetDrive and DriveGetType in the documentation for more ideas.

What you need to look at is the function DriveMapGet()

There you go:

$Share = "\\servername\sharename"


For $i = 65 To 90 ; ASC("A")=65, ASC("Z")=90
    $next = Chr($i) & ":"
    If DriveGetType($next) = "Network" Then
        If DriveMapGet($next) = $Share Then
            MsgBox(0, "Map Searcher", $Share & " is mapped to drive letter " & $next & ": ...")
            Exit
        EndIf
    EndIf
Next

MsgBox(0, "Map Searcher", "Currently there is no drive letter mapped to " & $Share)

Thanks Rudi, I was able to modify your code to fit my purpose. Posting here to help out others.

$ShareOld = "SERVEROldShare"
$ShareNew = "SERVERNewShare"
For $i = 65 To 90 ; ASC("A")=65, ASC("Z")=90
    $next = Chr($i) & ":"
    If DriveGetType($next) = "Network" Then
        If DriveMapGet($next) = $ShareOld Then
   DriveMapDel($next)
   Sleep(1000)
   DriveMapAdd($next, $ShareNew, 1)
            Exit
        EndIf
    EndIf
Next
