Display all Hidden UNC folders in Domain
I had a colleague send me the name of a hidden UNC share on our network about a year ago and that employee is no longer around. The path was something like:
\mydomain.commy_hidden_directory$
I no longer have the name of the UNC path to the directory I need to access and no one else seems to know what I'm talking about, but I would definitely be able to identity the correct path if I could see the hidden UNC and all subdirectories. For example, if I could browse to \mydomain.commy_hidden_directory$, I could easily click into the my_hidden_directory folder and navigate from there. Is there a way for me to list all hidden directories accessible to me on a domain so that I could discover the name of the my_hidden_directory path? I'm guessing there is some powershell script or command I could issue to discover these hidden UNC paths on my domain?
Thanks.

Assuming you have Admin privileges, you can log on to the domain controller where this folder is hosted, run Computer Management, System Tools->Shared Folders->Shares. If you don't have those privileges, ask your admin. They may have other ways of looking, as well.

Assuming you have Admin privileges, you can log on to the domain controller where this folder is hosted, run Computer Management, System Tools->Shared Folders->Shares. If you don't have those privileges, ask your admin. They may have other ways of looking, as well.
