Mapping a Drive on Client 1

[c2compliant]

I am trying to map a drive for the client on Windows NT 4. Some users may already be mapped, if they are not then I will need to map them. Any suggestions?

Try using the windows scripting host
Here is an example

This will get the drives mapped on the client.
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network&quot
Set clDrives = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives ' for class of currently mapped drives


For i = 0 to clDrives.Count -1
string1= string1 & clDrives.Item(i)
Next



This will check if the drive you want to map is already mapped if not it will map it.
if instr(string1,"fa11na04&quot = 0 then

Set WshNetworkU = CreateObject("WScript.Network&quot
WshNetworkU.MapNetworkDrive "U", "\\fa11na04\Drive"
end if

how would you change the user name and password for the mapping. I need to map the drive to a using a specific user name and password.

From MSDN :

object.MapNetworkDrive(strLocalName, strRemoteName, [bUpdateProfile], [strUser], [strPassword])

Arguments
object
WshNetwork object.
strLocalName
String value indicating the name by which the mapped drive will be known locally.
strRemoteName
String value indicating the share's UNC name (\\xxx\yyy).
bUpdateProfile
Optional. Boolean value indicating whether the mapping information is stored in the current user's profile. If bUpdateProfile is supplied and has a value of true, the mapping is stored in the user profile (the default is false).
strUser
Optional. String value indicating the user name. You must supply this argument if you are mapping a network drive using the credentials of someone other than the current user.
strPassword
Optional. String value indicating the user password. You must supply this argument if you are mapping a network drive using the credentials of someone other than the current user.
