The answer is a simple PowerShell one-liner   Get-WmiObject Win32 NetworkConnection   ft  RemoteName   LocalName  -A   If you only want to pull the UNC for one particular drive  add a where statement   Get-WmiObject Win32 NetworkConnection   where -Property  LocalName  -eq  Z      ft  RemoteName   LocalName  -A

In Windows  if you have mapped network drives and you don t know the UNC path for them  you can start a command prompt  Start   Run   cmd exe  and use the net use command to list your mapped drives and their UNC paths   C   gt net use New connections will be remembered   Status       Local     Remote                    Network  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK           Q           server1 foo             Microsoft Windows Network OK           X           server2 bar             Microsoft Windows Network The command completed successfully    Note that this shows the list of mapped and connected network file shares for the user context the command is run under  If you run cmd exe under your own user account  the results shown are the network file shares for yourself  If you run cmd exe under another user account  such as the local Administrator  you will instead see the network file shares for that user

This question has been answered already  but since there is a more convenient way to get the UNC path and some more I recommend using Path Copy  which is free and you can practically get any path you want with one click   https   pathcopycopy github io   Here is a screenshot demonstrating how it works  The latest version has more options and definitely UNC Path too
