I want to find out if the remote host has r/w access to a network share. To start out I wanted to see if I could query the target host's ability to query the UNC path for info, ala
var query = string.Format("select * from CIM_Directory where name = '{0}'", path);
This works fine for local files, e.g.
var path = @"c:\\Windows";
However, I can't figure out an appropriate way of querying a UNC path (e.g. \\foo\bar). The query always returns a blank set. I saw a related question about executing remote files and the solution for that one ended up being PsExec. I was hoping to ideally solve this problem entirely using WMI without having to rely on 3rd party execs, or uploading my own tool to the remote host.
Cheers
Here's a little usage sample of what I am trying to do right now (var values taken out):
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Management;
namespace netie
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var connection = new ConnectionOptions
{
Username = "user",
Password = "pass",
Authority = "domain",
Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate,
EnablePrivileges = true
};
var scope = new ManagementScope("\\\\remote\\root\\CIMV2", connection);
scope.Connect();
var path = @"\\\\foo\\bar\\";
var queryString = string.Format("select * from CIM_Directory where name = '{0}'", path);
try
{
var query = new ObjectQuery(queryString);
var searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);
foreach (var queryObj in searcher.Get().Cast<ManagementObject>())
{
Console.WriteLine("Number of properties: {0}", queryObj.Properties.Count);
foreach (var prop in queryObj.Properties)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", prop.Name, prop.Value);
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
