Accessing file or folder from a mapped network drive

I’m trying to see if there is anyway to access a file from a mapped network drive. For example, let say I mapped \raf-fileshare\rtemp to M: and inside the drive is a file called “home.html”

Is there any relevance I can use to check if this drive is mapped and check for the existence of the file? Thanks

Below is what I have to check for network drive existence

q: if (value “RemotePath” of key “Network\M” of (key whose ((it = name of current user as lowercase OR it starts with name of current user as lowercase & “@” ) of (it as string as lowercase) of value “Logon User Name” of key “Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer” of it) of key “HKEY_USERS” of registry)) = “\raf-fileshare\rtemp” then “Audit Passed - M: is mapped to \raf-fileshare\rtemp” else “Audit Failed - M: is not mapped to \raf-fileshare\rtemp”

Hi ralph,

I believe this will work in theory… but the SYSTEM account will need permission to access the folder:

exists file “\raf-fileshare\rtemp\home.html”

Important notes:

  • The agent runs as the SYSTEM account and won’t have access to shares unless you make them a “null session share”… I am not sure if this is compatible with your security requirements.

  • This relevance would cause the agents to check for this file periodically… be careful if you think that will cause too much load on your servers.
