MapDriveAdd XP Systems Account

[m1975michael]

I am trying to map a drive with credentials in Windows XP with the systems account.  The following is my line of code.  

$sIPAddress = "10.10.28.230"
DriveMapAdd("z:", "\\" & $sIPAddress & "\backups", 0, "admin", "password")

It will map running under a non systems account but not under the systems account.  This code works correctly under Windows 7 using the systems account.  If you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi, m1975michael. Can you explain why you're trying to map a drive as the System account? Is this for a service account, or some sort of application helper service? Typically when I need to use the system (or a service) account, I just create a symbolic link rather than map a drive.

I am backup computers with this script and using LanDesk to run the script.  I needs to run the script with the system account so I do not have to worry about if a user is logged in to the system and has proper permissions.
