Modify VBS Script to Write CVS file to a Share

Attention Experts,

I have a .vbs file that, when executed, generates a .csv file on the same drive/folder from which the the .vbs file was ran.
Example: The .vbs file is on the desktop. I execute the .vbs file, and a .csv file appears on the desktop.

Now, I need the outputted .csv file to be written to a network share, when the .vbs file is executed.
Example: The .vbs file is on the desktop. I execute the .vbs file, and a .csv file appears on a specified shared folder <that the user has 'write' access to, of course>.

Thanks in advance!

Set oNet   = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
set oFSO   = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strComputer = "."
UserName = oNet.UserName
Set objOutputFile = oFSO.CreateTextFile(Username+".csv",True)
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colDrives = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * From Win32_LogicalDisk Where DriveType = 4")
 
 
'************
'get username and create row 1 with username
'************
   objOutputFile.WriteLine(Username & ",")
   'wscript.echo(UserName)
 
'************
'get drive letter and create row 2 with Drive letters
'************
For Each objDrive in colDrives
    'Wscript.Echo "Drive letter: " & objDrive.DeviceID
    objOutputFile.Write(objDrive.DeviceID & ",")
Next
 
'***********
'End Row 2
'***********
objOutputFile.WriteLine(" ")
 
'***********
'Get UNC and create column 3 under the corresponding drive letter
'***********
 
For Each objDrive in colDrives
    'Wscript.Echo "Network path: " & objDrive.ProviderName
    objOutputFile.Write(objDrive.ProviderName & ",")
Next

oobayly,

That did not work. I'm not even sure how to add your mod to my code. Thanks, anyway.

Well, what does your code look like. It has to have somewhere the name of the file that is created. The fact that the file is created on the Desktop when you execute the script on the Desktop implies that the file name the csv file is given something like "data.csv", all you should have to do is change it an absolute path, ie: "\\remote_computer_name\shared_folder\data.csv"

My original code is posted, in the 'code snippet' section, directly under the question. I have been tweaking around with it, but I still haven't gotten it to write exactly where I want it. Anyways, the code is below (thanks):

Set oNet = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strComputer = "."
UserName = oNet.UserName
Set objOutputFile = oFSO.CreateTextFile(Username+".csv",True)
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colDrives = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_LogicalDisk Where DriveType = 4")

'************
'get username and create row 1 with username
'************
objOutputFile.WriteLine(Username & ",")
'wscript.echo(UserName)

'************
'get drive letter and create row 2 with Drive letters
'************
For Each objDrive in colDrives
'Wscript.Echo "Drive letter: " & objDrive.DeviceID
objOutputFile.Write(objDrive.DeviceID & ",")
Next

'***********
'End Row 2
'***********
objOutputFile.WriteLine(" ")

'***********
'Get UNC and create column 3 under the corresponding drive letter
'***********

For Each objDrive in colDrives
'Wscript.Echo "Network path: " & objDrive.ProviderName
objOutputFile.Write(objDrive.ProviderName & ",")
Next
