need to run a command from a vb script

[1971240z]

I need to run a net use command from a vb script. The script will ask for a users login name as input. Then the user name will be put in to a net use command that will prompt for the users password. This is what I have written.

Option Explicit
Dim name, username
Wscript.StdOut.WriteLine "Enter your name: "
username = Wscript.StdIn.ReadLine

Wscript.StdOut.Run "net use \\55chevy /user:domain\"& username &""

The problem is I do not know how to execute the net use command. Can anyone help?

Regards,

You need to specify a drive letter to map, a sharename on the server and a valid domain name:

Wscript.StdOut.Run "net use X: \\55chevy\Sharename /" & username & ":domain\"

Open a command window and type NET USE /? for more info.
