I would like to get all the mapped drives of a machine in a file.

Yes, it is effectively possible to realize such an inventory with IDEAL Administration.

First, download the free 30 day version of our software if you have not installed it yet: Download IDEAL Administration.

Our tool offers several possibilities in order to do manage and list mapped drives:

Right click on the computer, then "Command prompt". The NET USE command lists all the computer's connection. Then the result can be redirected to a text file.
