Discover shares on computers across your domain

With the increased number of virus outbreaks lately, I wanted to find out what shares were open on my network.

After some digging, I found a free tool from SysInternals that can give you a detailed report of all the shares and printers across your network.

It is called ShareEnum, and you can download it from here:

Share Enum Download

Download it, and launch from the zip file:

Share Enum Startup

Click that refresh button, and it will start scanning your entire network for shares and printers. If you have more than one domain, you can narrow it down by selecting your domain before you start:

Share Enum Narrow Down

After it is complete, a list of all the shares will be displayed below:

Share Enum Output

It will even show you the local path of the share, which is nice since it gives you an idea of what is open:

Share Enum Options

When you are finished, you can export the whole thing to a CSV file:

Export Shares

Nice tool to add to your collection. Just make sure you run it as an administrator so it can access all computers on your network.
