FuryCell Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) Here are the Mount Functions i just made . they let you mount a path as a drive. It includes three functions , _Mount , _UnMount , and _MountList.check out the example below. #Include <MountInclude.au3> _Mount (@MyDocumentsDir,"Z:"); Mounts the my documents dir as drive Z Sleep (30000) _UnMount("Z:"); UnMounts Z Drive Enjoy! Edit: Fixed some bugs with _MountList () and removed some stuff that was left behind from debugging Edit:Oops!

busysignal Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Nice... I can use this to mount drives a bit faster then going through Windows Explorer, less clicking.. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuryCell Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 Updated. See Post above. P.S. GaFrost , I am going to try drive info now and thanks Busysignal and Kjactive for commenting on my post.

GaryFrost Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Wasn't meant for local dir mapping, I couldn't map local dirs at work anyways, as an admin over many servers i need a quick way to map unmap drives depending on what i was working on, usally have most of the drive letters used up.

My team manages all NAS servers for a very large distributed organization, so we're constantly hitting their fileshares, etc. Unless you have a particular need to access something via a drive letter, just access it via its UNC.I only map drive letters to things that I need ongoing, consistent access to, or that the UNC is too long to remember or type into the Run dialog. Although I do map the X-Z drives to things occasionally, but rarely do I need more than 3 or 4 drives mapped aside from the ones I normally use for shared documents, etc. My UDFs: ExitCodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigglestick Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) The reason for mounting the drives is I mount the share as an admin, do what I need to do then unmount.Right, but I'm curious what can be done by mapping it to a drive letter that can't be done via UNC? I know you can see the drive size and free space in My Computer when it's mapped, and some utilities (and the Command Prompt ) require a drive letter.I know it has a lot to do with personal preference. I work with people who do the same thing. No one has ever made me aware of a reason to map a drive that was significant enough to make me want to do it consistently. I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm just curious. Edited March 29, 2006 by c0deWorm My UDFs: ExitCodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have one account for our daily work on our machines and a separate account for servers. I can, however, go to start, run, type the UNC, and it will prompt me for the login. I enter it in the domain\username format, but you can also use the username@domain format, and it will allow you access. There is no need to map a drive simply because you need to use an alternate username... Although I suppose if your "normal" account has readonly access to a share and you need to write something you would need to do that, or you could access that data using the root drive share, such as \\server\c$ or \\server\d$. You will have to type the root drive share into the Run dialog, login, then finish the path if you want to go deeper into the tree, but it's still faster and easier than mapping drives.Just a thought.

JSThePatriot Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hey... I just saw these functions. I just have created the need for the mounting and unmounting of drives through script. I have rarely used mounted drives in the past, but I need to do it now to make everything easier here at this company until I get the server up. The problem I am having is that when someone restarts one of the computers whether it be the one mapped to or one of the mapped one's it messes up the connection. Sometimes I can just goto My Computer dbl click the drive, and it asks for the username and password, but recently it seems to want me to have to disconnect the drive and reconnect it before asking me again for the username and password. I guess my question is this: Does either of your programs (SolidSnake and gafrost) allow for the username and password to be submitted through your UDF's? I am sorry I havent tried any of these apps before asking my question, but I dont really have a test computer setup that I can try it on yet.

I havent always been completely up on the networking end of computers. I have been more hardware/software so its hard for me to explain exactly whats going on with the connection between the shared drive and the host computer.I think I have a test environment setup so I will try out the scripts and see what I can do. I may have to set it as a startup script and what not to make sure the "reconnect at logon" actually works as it should because right now its not working the way I have understood it to do so. The drive becomes unavailable after one of the computers are restarted (just that computers drive).I'll let you know if I have any more questions/problems, and I will also try to be more specific if possible.JS AutoIt Links File-String Hash Plugin Updated! 04-02-2008 Plugins have been discontinued.

PsychodelEKS Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Is there any way I could modify this functions to mount folders as removable drives? Not to get all these Recycle and System Volume Information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychodelEKS Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Seems there is no way... Are there any other functions that support mounting as removable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
