I tried your script from Windows 2003 Terminal Server against XPsp1
workstations. It didn't work. I've also tried running it from XPsp1 against
XPsp1 -once again it didn't work. It listed non-type 4 drives (floppies,
CDROMS, hard disks) on the remote PCs but not the mapped shares (type=4).
If it's working for you, I'd be interested in how our setups differ.
