get mapped drive information in LV

[maat]

Is there a way to output the full server name for a mapped network drive?

i.e. go from the mapped drive letter R:\ and have it output the full path \\Mapped_Drive1

Thank you in advance...

There is no direct way of doing that. You can, however, do it, using a Windows API call to the WNetGetConnection function. See attached example. The buffer for the UNC path was arbitrarily set to be 100 characters.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks again!

I attached the final VI in case it helps anyone.
