How to delete specific network drives

[Tsiyoshi]

Hello,

I am trying to delete some network paths that are no longer valid. these paths may vary by name but all start with the same server name: \\charlie-1

If I use "drivemapdel" I can only give a specific path after server name but what I need is some sort of a way to delete anything after \\charlie-1\*

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks in advance.

if folder is behinde maped drive you can use

DirRemove("Y:\Test1", 1) to delite folder in maped drive

or DirRemove("\\Pascal\D\hh", 1) to delite whats in shared folder

"drivemapdel" is only used to Disconnects a network drive not to delite it

#include <Process.au3>

_RunDOS ( "net use \\pascal /delete" )

The simple and easyway

Thank you for the reply but ( "net use \\pascal /delete" ) will not work because it needs another parameter afterwards. for instance: ( "net use \\pascal\hd /del" )

Hi,

try this ( it's working on Win XP, you may have problems on Win 2000 or Vista):

#include <array.au3> ; include is only needed for _arraydisplay, delete it if you don't need _arraydisplay

Global $ar_networkconnection [26] ; array 4 NetworkConnections

_GetNetworkConnection () ; Reading NetworkConnection from WMI

_ArrayDisplay ($ar_networkconnection) ; Display Array

Exit ; Delete Exit for DriveMapDel

For $i = 0 to 26

if $ar_networkconnection [$i] <> "" Then DriveMapDel ($ar_networkconnection [$i]) ; Delete Shares you get from WMI

Next

Func _GetNetworkConnection ()

$i = 0

$strComputer = "Localhost"

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")

$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkConnection")

For $objItem In $colItems

if StringInStr ($objItem.RemoteName, "charlie-1") <> 0 Then ; If Servername charlie is in WMI Class Query, then fill array

$ar_networkconnection [$i] = $objItem.LocalName

$i += 1

EndIf

Next

EndFunc

Edit: Because the stuff above is badly formatted, here is au3 file.

Thanks a lot, this is the right direction except that the network drive is not deleted only shown in the arraydisplay. Do I need to add _arraydelete perhaps at the end?

Hi,

delete the exit after the _ArrayDisplay or mask it as remark.

You should have read my remark after the exit line: Delete Exit for DriveMapDel.

You can delete the _ArrayDisplay as well, it was only for debugging.

If you delete the _ArrayDisplay you can delete also the include line.

That's right, I missed the exit deletion ....it makes perfect sense now :-) Thanks a lot for you help, I appreciate it.
