Mapping network drive on domain from shared resource

[thebearjuden]

just to make sure it is dummy proof:

DriveMapAdd("Q:", "file01users" "domainname" & $username, 9, $username, $pw)

do i need to use domainname.com or is just the domain itself good enough?

You're putting the domainname string in the wrong place.

DriveMapAdd("Q:", "file01users" & $username, 9, "domainname" & $username, $pw)

[thebearjuden]

So:

; Disconnect
DriveMapDel("Q:")
$username = InputBox("Drive Mapper", "Please enter User Name")
$pw = InputBox("Drive Mapper", "Please enter Password", "", "*")
DriveMapAdd("Q:", "file01users" & $username, 9, "DOMAIN" & $username, $pw)

I will be able to test it in a few mins i hope ...

Doesn't work >.<

"Doesn't work" needs to be removed from your vocabulary Can you explain what exactly you're seeing in the console (errors, etc.)?

Assign your DriveMapAdd line to a variable and post what is being returned.

Sorry.

It just doesn't connect ...

How would I go about seeing logs etc for this?

[Reg2Post]

You can get the returned error code (if any) with a MsgBox or ConsoleWrite immediately after your DriveMapAdd line.

Try putting this after that line: If @error Then MsgBox(0,"@error: ", @error)

Then post back what error code you got, if any, or just check against the remarks in the help file for the DriveMapAdd function.

I would suggest doing due diligence before hand if you have not and check to see if you can even add the mapped drive manually in the first place (with multiple user credentials, of course).

Jep. If you have multiple users connecting to the same server (doesn't make any difference if it's another share or not), you need to disconnect the connections to that server first.

You can use a command like 'net use | find "fileservername" to see the connections that need to be cut prior to reconnecting.
