Get local path from a UNC path

Below code returns local path from a UNC path.

strPath = "\\pc100\d"

strPath = Replace(strPath, "\\", "")

arrPath = Split(strPath, "\")

strComputer = arrPath(0)
strShare = arrPath(1)
Wscript.Echo strComputer 
Wscript.Echo strShare 

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * From Win32_Share Where Name = '" & strShare & "'")

For Each objItem in colItems
    Wscript.Echo objItem.Path
Next

But it only works for a path of my pc. That is if my pc name is pc1 then if i pass \\pc1\D\ then it returns D:\

But in case i give a network pc path such as \\pc100\d\ then it gives error as shown below

---------------------------
Windows Script Host
---------------------------
Script: D:\Desktop\New Text Document.vbs
Line:   12
Char:   1
Error:  Permission denied: 'GetObject'
Code:   800A0046
Source:     Microsoft VBScript runtime error

---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

But \\pc100\d\ is a drive which is shared.Firewall is off on both PC.Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service and WMI are running on the PC So why does this gives error.How can i correct it.I do have full permission to that network folder.

Do you have to get your WMI object like this instead?:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
    "{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!\\" & _
    strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

You don't have access to the WMI/ManagementScope on PC100.
