I have an application where I am providing the user the ability to
select or create a folder on a domain, using SHBrowseForFolder. When
the user selects/creates a folder on a remote computer, it returns the
UNC path of that folder.
Using ADSI IADsFileShare, I would like to create that share, but the
.Path property seems to reject the UNC. Is there a way of converting
that UNC to the logical drive path or some other way of setting the
path in order to Set the Share?
Much Thanks.
Just pass the UNC path to the GetLocalPath function (below) and it will
return the server local path.
