Using Windows 7 Enterprise with SP1, but I'm hoping to get a generic answer that would apply to Windows XP/2003/2008/Vista/7.
From a command prompt, I execute a net use command to map the Z: drive to a share on another computer, but I don't use my current credentials, I specify a different domain and user to map the drive.
net use z: \\rd-pc2037\C_DRIVE password /user:rd-pc2037\Administrator
The command completes successfully. Now that the drive is mapped, how can I find what Domain and Username I used to successfully map the drive? I can't seem to find what I want with the net use command.
C:\Users\rdomarat>net use New connections will not be remembered. Status Local Remote Network ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK Z: \\rd-pc2037\C_DRIVE Microsoft Windows Network The command completed successfully. C:\Users\rdomarat>net use Z: Local name Z: Remote name \\rd-pc2037\C_DRIVE Resource type Disk Status OK # Opens 0 # Connections 1 The command completed successfully.
Checking the properties of the share in Windows Explorer and looking at the security tab showed me what permissions different people would have, but I didn't see how which DOMAIN\User I had used. I searched through the registry with limited success as well.
Any thought?
WMI is your friend:
> wmic netuse where LocalName="Z:" get UserName /value
UserName=rd-pc2037\Administrator

Since Microsoft is gradually moving away from WMI, Powershell/CIM is your future friend:
Get-CimInstance -classname Win32_NetworkConnection | select-object Remotename,Username
