get-wmiobject gpo scripts

PowerShell Help
1

Hi All,

So I’m trying to get a 3.0 script working in powershell 2.0, I cannot upgrade powershell so I’m a bit stuck.

$user = [Environment]::UserName
$path = “\server\scripts$$user.csv”

start-sleep -s 20
Get-WmiObject Win32_MappedLogicalDisk | Export-Csv $path -NoTypeInformation

As append does not work I’m getting it to create a csv for each user.
However even though the script works with the user logged in. When running it via GPO in the login or log off script, the output is a empty file.

I made the script sleep so the drives get created however it creates just a empty file.

Instead of running it I have also called the script from command prompt but still a empty file. Anyone know what I’m missing?

I should add, I can run get-childitem instead of my get-wmiobject and I get results

do you want just the Paths or all the information

This will get you just the paths

$Paths = Get-WmiObject Win32_MappedLogicalDisk  -ComputerName $env:COMPUTERNAME | Select ProviderName

you may have to do a foreach into a custom PSObject before you export to the cvs I only have one mapped drive so I cant test

this is all the info that provider will show

Keep in mind that the script may be running - and the sleep won’t help this - before drives are mapped. That’s especially true if the script is a startup, since the computer account doesn’t have mapped drives.

Even if I run at log off it does the same.

I run this on later version and works great.
