How to Determine if a User is Connected to a Server

Keywords:    mapped drives

Question:

Can you determine if you are connected ( and as who ) to a Novell server using the 32 bit Network extender?

Answer:

It's easier with the Novell Extender - but then you have to be running the Novell Client.

With the 32 bit Extender you can do it. The basic process is:

1. Use DiskScan to get list of attached network drives.

2. Using ItemCount and ItemExtract and a for look extract each drive on at a time.

3. Use netGetCon to see what it is attached to. Use NetGetUser to see as who.

   For example:

   	AddExtender("wwwnt34I.dll") ;for NT
   	;or
   	AddExtender("www9534I.dll") ; for 95/98
   
   	netdrives=DiskScan(4)
   	Count=ItemCount(netdrives,@tab)
   
   	for xx=1 to count
   	thisdrive=ItemExtract(xx,netdrives,@tab)
   
   	map=wntGetCon(thisadrive) ; for NT
   	;OR
   	map=w95GetCon(thisdrive) ; for 95/98
   
   	Message(thisdrive,map)
   	next
   

Question (thread continued):

What if you are just connected to the Novell server with NO drives mapped? How can I figure out if the user is connected to a particular server but not necessarily have a drive mapped?

Answer:

Probably with the w95Resources of the wntResources2 function you can determine what you need to know.
