Mapping to aUNC Path

[kachbo1]

Hi,

I would like to map a couple unc paths using a vbscript. I just want to map to the paths, I do not want to use drive letters.

Is this possible?

when you say 'map' what do you mean then.
i was always under the impression that the act of 'mapping' involved the connection of a drive letter.

if you mean is it possible to manipulate files/folders on a server in a vbscript without the need of a drive mapping then the answer is yes, you can use UNC paths in GetFolders ect methods from the FSO object....

Yes I agree that I want to manipulate files/folders on a server in a vbscript without the need of a drive mapping.

Would appreciate if you could provide me with a script.

Set objFolder = FSO.GetFolder("\\server1\share1")

with FSO you need to have a share access point to get you started.

i seem to recall a number of posts on how to do it without a share being available using WMI

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "I:", "\\ServerName\ShareName
