ask for a login pasword and domain name VBscript

[1971240z]

I would like to create a script that would prompt for a login name password and domain name. Then it would take the variables and use the net use command to map a drive to a server that was specified in the script. What I have tried is the following:
Option Explicit
Dim name,WshShell,username
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Wscript.StdOut.WriteLine "Enter your name: "
username = Wscript.StdIn.ReadLine

WshShell.run "net use \\server_name /user:domain_name \"& username &""

but it does not work. Can anyone help me fix it?

Regards,

Have you tried to play with the InputBox function ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Watch out unwarranted extra space.
[tt]WshShell.run "net use \\server_name /user:domain_name[COLOR=red yellow] [/color]\"& username & ""[/tt] [red]'_wrong_[/red]
(ending "" is useless too).
Should be this.
[tt]WshShell.run "net use \\server_name /user:domain_name\"& username[/tt]
