DriveMapAdd() failed for Win2K ONLY ?

Hi,

I am experienced DriveMapAdd() function (with ID/Password) failure for Win2K only. WinXP seems work fine. Does anyone has clue what might happend ?

Thanks,

Could you perhaps add this to your script so they we would know why it is getting an error:

DriveMapAdd(<yourstuffhere>)
If @error then Msgbox(0,"Error Code",@error)

The following error codes mean:

When the function fails (returns 0) @error contains extended information:

1 = Undefined / Other error

2 = Access to the remote share was denied

3 = The device is already assigned

4 = Invalid device name

5 = Invalid remote share

6 = Invalid password

I hope this helps.

I havn't figured out what's going on yet. Sometimes it works. @error normally 1 if it failed.

Here is my code for testing. I even put a loop for doing mapping for 5 seconds. Still failed.

; Map to network drive

$strUserID = "MTN\authscript"

$strPassword = "aut91hr3"

$sourceDir = "\\lestat1\apps\Licensed_APPS\SiSoftware_Sandra_2005_Pro"

UnmapNetworkDrives()

; Map to network drive

$begin = TimerInit()

While 1

$dif = TimerDiff($begin)

$result = DriveMapAdd("O:", $sourceDir, 1, $strUserID, $strPassword)

if ($dif > 5000) Or $result Then

ExitLoop

EndIf

WEnd

MsgBox(0, "Result " & $result, "Error " & @error)

Does the mapping always work when you do it manually (without AutoIt)?

It is. I am managing to make it work by using a sleep in the loop. I had same experience using other scripting language. When I had my WinXP DriveMapAdd() function working, I was so exciting about AutoIt3. Just don't know Win2K is so different than WinXP in terms of DriveMapAdd() function.

Thanks a lot.

Sleep(500)
