Logon Script To Map Drive Needs Pause - Question

[sageturkey]

Newbie to VBS -
I have a simple logon script that I have included in a Custom VPN connection using CMAK. The .vbs script works great when ran stand-alone after the VPN connection is established, but when included in the Custom Connection, even though set to run post-logon, it runs too soon after the VPN connection is established and errors because it can't find the network share. Here's the script:
' VBScript.
Dim net
Set net = CreateObject("WScript.Network&quot
net.MapNetworkDrive "Z:", "\\server\test","True"

How do I add a 5 second pause to allow the netowrk to fully connect before attempting to map the drive?

Thanks

Hello sageturkey,

It is .sleep, param in the unit of ms.

wscript.sleep 5000

Thanks for the tip, tsuji! I found a much more entailed Timer method that does the job but I like this one better. Will this work with Win98 machines?

This method is platform independent. You need however a Scripting runtime decently recent for this to work. The simplest way to get the last scripting engine is to update your internet explorer to IE 6.0 SP1.
