Script to map a drive and add a route addition

[Puffinstuff]

I've never been a scripter, but have been tasked with creating a startup script that will automate the mapping of a network drive as well as create a route.

The notes my predecessor left behind simply say:

Command to use:

net use w: \\192.168.100.100\mitsubishi\ "" /userpc

I've got no experience with this sort of thing. It's too close to programming for me (I'm a network engineer). Might anyone be able to steer me in the right direction as to how to write this script up?

You could simply run that statement in a batch file. This should be the VBS equivalent if you need to add something into a VB login script:

Set WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "W:", "\\192.168.100.100\mitsubishi", False, "ppl", ""

Unless I'm missing something, that statement is not creating a route. It just maps a drive to a shared folder and references the server by address instead of name.
