am632 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hi, Im using DriveMapAdd to mount a network folder to a letter and heres my command DriveMapAdd("*:","\\nas\share") As im using * I dont know what letter will be used until it's mounted, and when my script is finished I want to use DriveMapDel to unmount it automatically but there is nothing in the documentation for the * when using this command, how can I get it to store the correct value in a variable so I can refer to the correct drive letter later? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted April 13, 2013 Developers Share Posted April 13, 2013 Note: When using "*" for the device parameter the drive letter selected will be returned instead of 1 or 0, e.g. "U:". If there was an error using "*" then a blank string "" will be returned.

BrewManNH Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Reading comprehension 101 $someVariable = DriveMapAdd("*","\\nas\share") This will put the drive letter mapped to in the variable $someVariable. Also, don't include the colon (":") when using the asterisk. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
