Windows Share Searching...

I need to find away to search all shares on multiple servers to see if a particular subdirectory of a share exists. Is there a quick way to do this? I ask coz there are 11 servers (same share name on each) and 167 shares to find :p

Any help VERY much appreciated :)

Windows 2000, BTW.

Come ooooon, someone must know!!!

Well.

Download some networking code from the web. Enumerate all servers on the network with shares.
Store the server names in an array.

Then :

VB Code:

Dim i As Long
Open "c:\netview.bat" For Output As #1
    For i = 0 To UBound(strServerNames)
        Print #1, "@if exist \\" & strServerNames(i) & "\myShareName\ echo Share found on server : " & strServerNames(i)
    Next
    Print #1, "@pause"
Close #1
Shell "c:\netview.bat"

... that's how I'd do it.
So basically you need the names of the servers in a batch file...

Don't have access to VB at work...any chance you could knock me up a quick util???

I only have VB.NET... I'll try hang on.

Cheers :) I need to install it on 98 tho, the 2K machine is a Citrix desktop...

Try this. Tell me if it gives you server names.

Missing MSCOREE.dll....guessing it's part of the .NET framework, but I ain't installing it on my pitiful PII laptop with Win98 :p

Cheers for trying anyway :)

I would do it for you in VStudio6 but I don't have it installed anymore. Sorry about that :(

No worries, I think I'm just gonna procrastinate and leave the problem for a while anyway :p
