Re: Mapped Drives SMS_DEF.MOF Issue

Hi
I think that the problem is that drives (like printers) are mounted by the
user, so the local system account with which the inventory process runs has
no access to those. You should try to run the script as user, creating a
NOIDMif file that will be taken into account by the next inventory (check
that you upload noidmifs),

Which account is executing the datashift-drives.vbs? If it is the local
system account then you will not get any map network drives.

I'm attempting to collect the mapped network drives of my SMS Advanced
Clients in our SMS 2003 environment.

I'm working with the Datashift-Drives.vbs. I've added the following to
my SMS_DEF.MOF file to collect this information from the test client:

*************


//----------------------
// Mapped Drive Inventory
//----------------------

#pragma namespace("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\\SMS")
[SMS_Report(TRUE),
SMS_Group_Name("SMX Drives"),
SMS_Class_ID("MICROSOFT|SMXDrives|1.0")]

class SMX_Drives : SMS_Class_Template
{
[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
Boolean Compressed;

[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
string Description;

[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
string DeviceID;

[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
Uint32 DriveType;

[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
string FileSystem;

[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
Uint64 FreeSpace;

[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
Uint32 MediaType;

[SMS_Report(TRUE), Key]
string Name;

[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
string ProviderName;

[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
Uint64 Size;

[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
string VolumeName;

[SMS_Report(TRUE)]
string VolumeSerialNumber;
};

This all appears to work in the Hardware Inventory process when I force
a Hardware Inventory at the client level, however the only drive
displayed is my CD-ROM. Is this the intended behavior of the script or
is it to also to list out my mapped network drives (e.g. my Y: & Z
drives are mapped). I was also concerned about the hardware inventory
being executed via the system account vs. the logged on account. Any
help you could give me would be appreciated.
