DFS Shares

[mrmovie]

Hello all,
Anyone know how to tell which server you are connected to when you map to a dfs share?
at the moment we have a text file on each server which has to be read before you can tell which server the user is actually looking at! not very nice.
any ideas???

thanks

ok, i have an exe which displays the dfs info

cmd line syntax of

dfsutil /pktinfo

My next question is how do i use the Exec method to execute this command and get a refernce to its STDOUT
I dont want to have to pipe it to a text file and then read the text file????

Thanks,
von moyla
