This statement of your is contradictory - "I ve already given ntwk credentials (in line 3 and 4) Those are the uname and pwd for the system i want to get the list of shared folders".. You need to provide the NETWORK credentials and not the SYSTEM credentials....Both of these are different.Only then it will work.

Have you tried without using the user credentials.. Just comment the userid pwd and try.. the following code works for me..

C#

System.Management.ManagementScope ms1 = new System.Management.ManagementScope();
           // ms1.Options.Username = "";
           // ms1.Options.Password = "";
            using (System.Management.ManagementClass exportedShares = new System.Management.ManagementClass(ms1, new ManagementPath("\\\\machinename\\root\\cimv2:Win32_Share"), null))
            {
                System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection shares = exportedShares.GetInstances();
                foreach (System.Management.ManagementObject share in shares)
                {
                    Response.Write("Name: " + share["Name"].ToString());
                }
            }

Solution 2

Try with this:

C#

ms1.Options.Authority = string.Format("NTLMDOMAIN:{0}", txtDomain.Text);
ms1.Options.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate;
