Delete Network Connections without drive letters

[twillster]

There is a way to delete network connections without drive letters with DriveMapDel and the UNC path but is there any way to enumerate these connections so you know they are there to be deleted?

I'm working on upgrading my login scripts from a combination of batch and kix scripts and want to know how to duplicate the net use * /delete /yes command.

Deleting network connections that have drive letters assigned is easy via DriveGetDrive("NETWORK") but that doesn't get connections without drive letters.

Anyone have any options other than running net use * /delete /yes from comspec?

Thanks,

Adam

Hmmm, can not test it because I don't have shares here , but maybe WMI could help you.

Compare the result with the result of DriveGetDrive("NETWORK") and delete those which are not assigned to a drive letter with "net use NAME /delete /yes".

Sounds like a suggestion for DriveMapDel("*") to me. I've recently run across a situation where that would have come in handy.
