WMI Remotely Scan Network Drives

Hellow folks,

I have the following question. I know that WMI lets your retrieve your mapped network drive information if its the local machine. But what I don't understand is how to pull a remote computers mapped network drives. I have seen serveral articles that indicate that you would need to enumerate a remote session as the user, but I have no idea what this means or how to do it. Does anyone know how to use WMI on a remote machine to retrieve the drive mappings?
