DriveMapAdd Problem!

[goss34]

Hi All,

I have written a script that will run as a user and map several drives. This works apart from 2 of the drives will not map due to "undefined/other error".

The problem is because the folders its trying to map to does not exist so i expect the error (although i would expect error 5 if anything??). My problem is before the error is generated it takes around 60 seconds to fail before showing the error message!

Any ideas as to how to make this fail quicker? If at all possible.

Cheers

Dan

Don't bump your topics in 24 hours!

Have you tried If FileExists(...) or Ping(...) before mapping?

test if device is already assigned by DriveMapGet (fast)

Here my older example

what is the windows api error it is returning?

after drivemapadd do an @extended and post that number. that would help determine exactly what is causing the issue.

or compare it to this list to see whats going on. http://www.hiteksoftware.com/knowledge/articles/049.htm

Morning Guys,

Sorry for the bump.

The extended error is : 3 The system cannot find the path specified.

Which i would of expected to see but why does it take so long to fail? (This is whats causing the problem)

Thank you,

Dan

the best way to do that then would be GMK's suggestion of If FileExists("PathtoFolder") then DriveMapAdd(...)

it don't have to point to a file a folder will do as well.
