DriveMapAdd() @error not reporting

[uplink477]

Hi, i have this script that attempts to map a network drive useing DriveMapadd(), iam trying to make it so if the command fails i will get a message as to why, by reading @Error the only problem is @error is never set it always returns 0, weather the command fails or not, any ideas?

Here's the Script

CODE

$drvcall = DriveMapAdd("", "\\192.168.100.1\ADMIN$", 0, "Username", "Psssword")

Msgbox(0,"syscall",$drvcall)

Msgbox(0,"@error",@error)

if $drvcall = 1 then

MSgbox(0,"Mapped","Drive Mapped")

else

Switch @error

case "1"

MSgbox(0,"error","undefined Error")

Msgbox(0,"API Error Code",@extended)

case "2"

MSgbox(0,"error","access denied Error")

Case "3"

MSgbox(0,"error","Device already mapped")

Case "4"

MSgbox(0,"error","Invalid Device NAme")

Case "5"

MSgbox(0,"error","Invalid remote share")

Case "6"

MSgbox(0,"error","Invalid Password")

EndSwitch

EndIf

try this:

DriveMapAdd("", "\\192.168.100.1\ADMIN$", 0, "Username", "Psssword")

or u can just use return @error

yeah, the script works fine, but everytime there is an error, @error always seems to return 1, even if its ment to return 5 for if the share isnt found or 6 if the password is wrong.

Hi,

just use DriveMapAdd("*", "\\192.168.100.1\ADMIN$", 0, "Username", "Psssword") or

DriveMapAdd("x:", "\\192.168.100.1\ADMIN$", 0, "Username", "Psssword")

That was not what i was asking, i understand how to use that function, but i cant get any @error codes out of it.

What is the value of @extended after the function fails?

Hi,

i used

$drvcall = DriveMapAdd("", "\\192.168.100.1\ADMIN$", 0, "Username", "Psssword")

@error always return 1

if i use

$drvcall = DriveMapAdd("*", "\\192.168.100.1\ADMIN$", 0, "Username", "Psssword")

then i get other errorcodes, e.g. 5 Invalid remote share

@uplink477,

In your first post you are testing for the @Error of your

Msgbox(0,"syscall",$drvcall)

call.

This will always be 0.

Either use what 99ojo posted in the 2nd post, or modify your code like this to preserve the @Error of DriveMapAdd().

$drvcall = DriveMapAdd("", "\\192.168.100.1\ADMIN$", 0, "Username", "Psssword")
$drvCallError = @Error
Msgbox(0,"syscall",$drvcall)
Msgbox(0,"@error",$drvCallError)

if $drvcall = 1 then
MSgbox(0,"Mapped","Drive Mapped")
else
Switch $drvCallError
case "1"
MSgbox(0,"error","undefined Error")
Msgbox(0,"API Error Code",@extended)
case "2"
MSgbox(0,"error","access denied Error")
Case "3"
MSgbox(0,"error","Device already mapped")
Case "4"
MSgbox(0,"error","Invalid Device NAme")
Case "5"
MSgbox(0,"error","Invalid remote share")
Case "6"
MSgbox(0,"error","Invalid Password")
EndSwitch
EndIf
