[thelist] FileSystemObject - mapped network drives not visible in web tool

[Ian Anderson]

Hi Joel,

Is it throwing an exception, or failing silently? What is the error 
message if any?

According to

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/jsmthgetdrive.asp

it shows the share syntax as \\computer2\share1

C$ is a sort of vaguely secret, backdoor reference, isn't it? Could that 
be the issue?

Did you use this style of reference successfully in the first deployment?

Cheers

Ian Anderson
