Hi,

Can somebody let me know how to check whether particular network drive is mapped or not e.g x:\\share1\share2?

Regards,

Are you asking how to check that it's mounted from the system that's accessing it? This is pretty simple and just a matter of trying to access the drive. If you're looking for a simple command line to do it I suppose just running CD X (X being the letter assigned to the newtork drive) would do the job, since you should get an error if the drive isn't accessible.
