DriveMapAdd Problem

[mcslemon]

Hi,

I need to connect to a Novell Server via CIFS on a WinPE 2.0 build.

Using PENetCFG, the drive maps ok when the network service starts.

Using the Net Use command the drive maps ok

Using DriveMapAdd the server fails to connect. If I map to a Windows XP / 2003 box, it connects fine!

I'd like to use Autoit to control this part of my process as I can have better control over any problems that should occur with the mapping.

The command I'm using is

DriveMapAdd("i:", "\\server\share", 0, "workgroup\username", "password")

The error code I receive from @error is 1.

Has anyone encountered problems with connecting to CIFS before?

Cheers,

Neil.

Some things in autoit i hear dont work in all windows versions. If winPE is anythign like WinCE then it wont work at all. Have you had any success before using autoit with PE?

Actually I've run into other problems with DriveMapAdd as well. I've had to resort to using Net Use in my AutoIt scripts as a fallback once or twice.

Func MapNoPass()
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "net use " & $sDriveLetter & " " & $sMapPath & " /user:" & $sUser & " /persistent:no", "", @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc   ;==>MapNoPass

Func MapWithPass()
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "net use " & $sDriveLetter & " " & $sMapPath & " /user:" & $sUser & " /persistent:no" & " " & $sPassword, "", @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc   ;==>MapWithPass

Sorry, I thought I'd responded to that!

Monamo, thanks for the code - I'll give that a go.
