View Domain Net Shares via DOS

[ntbluez]

Within a domain, I want to walk up to any computer, open a DOS prompt on Windows 2000, and run a DOS command which will show me all the network shared directories of other computers within the same domain.

What is the DOS command to display this listing?

Thanks for your comment :-)

Prompt ! no dos ... 'tis emmulated

Net View do you ?

Displays a list of computers in a specified workgroup or
the shared resources available on a specified computer.
NET VIEW [\\computer] [/YES]
NET VIEW [/WORKGROUP:wgname] [/YES]

computer Specifies the name of the computer whose shared resources you want to see listed.
/WORKGROUP Specifies that you want to view the names of the computers in another workgroup that share resources.
wgname Specifies the name of the workgroup whose computer names you want to view.
/YES Carries out the NET VIEW command without first prompting you to provide information or confirm actions.

To display a list of computers in your workgroup that share
resources, type NET VIEW without options.

Maybe this works in a domain too ? I dunno have a go !

There's no flipping DOS on a w2k or xp box, unless you put it there seperately, how the hell can it be DOS if its writing on an NTFS partition ? Its emmulated - honest !

My bad.....

I know there is not true DOS prompt in 2000 or XP. I mispoke. There is a DOS emulation environment....

Thanks for the reminder :-)

the Net View command has been explained, but not thoroughly.

The above examples show the NET VIEW command for workgroups...
I need to know how to view the shares of many computers in a DOMAIN...?????

Is it too hard to try ? I'm not in a domain to try it ... I did give you a 'start' ...

Edit:

That's probably harsh (but come on !...) .. maybe he actually tried?

There's also NET VIEW /DOMAIN ... "To see a list of all shares in the domain:"

Google found me the 'full instructions' in about 30 seconds ... Net view - explained @ tech net

Displays a list of domains, computers, or resources that are being shared by the specified computer. Used without parameters, net view displays a list of computers in your current domain.

There's also NET VIEW /DOMAIN ... "To see a list of all shares in the domain:"

hmm. . trying it on our domain. (net view /domain:domain_name) it's returning computer names not shares. the computer names are being returned as \\computername but when you drop it down a level from there. net view \\computername it shows the shares.

First of all, NET VIEW will not show hidden shares (shares ending in '$')... You'll have to use the management console for that... But for visible shares try this batch file:
-----------------------
net view /domain:Your_Domain>>machinelist.txt
for /f %%i in (machinelist.txt) do net view %%i>>shares.txt
del machinelist.txt
-----------------------
Quite primitive but it will work...

I'm not a sytem admin, so this is how I'd find it all out, I'm mystified why we want this from prompt when we have a perfectly good way to do it ...

Since I obviously know nothing 'really' about this, would someone care to hazard a guess, as to why you might ?

I think you had crack in your korn flakes again. What is it pray tell that you are asking?

Next time, just say, "why would you want to do it this way" next time...ok!?!

For educational purposes??? For auditing? (although this is definitely NOT the way). Come on say what you think!!! Obviously you know that there are tools "out there" that can do by far more without even the need of logging on... think sniffers, arp poisoning, MAC spoofing just to begin with... And they are called network "auditing" and password "recovery" tools...

I'd say all that Crack in my corny-flakes has me confus-ed again !

There's a link to technet in the thread go have another look at the instructions, I quoted a bit earlier which says it 'ought to' .. I think we were all bemused why 'legitametly' you might want to do this, generally like Cee-bee says earlier "use the management console for that" ..
