I'd like to write a VB script that maps a network drive, but I don't really know where to start. I'd like to script to ask for a username and password, then map the drive.should I write it VB or as a CMD batch file? NET USE Z: \serverfolder\%user% /USER:%USER%@domain /password:%pass%am not even sure I've got that syntax write.

I need to map a network drive from within a .NET application. I'm going to need to use an AD Username and Password to authenticate. Usually I just use a batch file with the net use command. How do I do this from within C# or VB.NET code?
View 4 RepliesI've followed the instructions found at the letter (albeit also adding the parameters to pass a username and password), but have had no success connecting to a network drive that requires authentication to access.
View 8 RepliesI'm developing an application that needs to Map a network drive for a domain user logged into a domain PC from a remote location. I have tried numerous different things with different levels of success but none with the required functionality. - First, I used WMI to create a process that would run Net Use with no luck: Net Use would ask for a user name and password to connect to the share instead of using the User's credentials.- Second I generated a script (wshNetwork) that would be copied to the remote PC and used WMI to once again create a process that would run wscript in command prompt to execute the copied script.
The script would run successfully (as evident by code placed to fill in a text file when the script completed) but the network drive was not added.- Third I created a program that would be copied to the user's PC which would map the drive using Windows Network API. Again, I used WMI to execute the program as a proccess with the results the same as the script. The application would run successfully but the drive was not added.- Fourth, I edited the user's registry to add the drive. This worked, however the mapped drive was not usable through Windows Explorer without a reboot.
Unfortunately, one of the requirements of the application is to avoid rebooting the remote PC.I have arguably had the greatest success with the following:- I used WMI to generate a scheduled task on the remote PC that would run a script (wshNetwork), an application (Win API) or the Net Use command to map the drive. All resulted in the drive being properly mapped and visable through windows explorer with the files accessable. However, the new map would be labeled "Disconnected Network Drive" and the drive could not be removed (error: network connection could not be found) and the driver letter could not be used without rebooting the system. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this? Unfortunately I can't use wshController to run a remote script because a majority of the PCs on the domain are not configured to use it.
Currently I am trying to create a small application which will be used to map a common network drive on an offline computer. Currently my form has: Location Username Password Domain I have these all setup so that when I click to map the drive it will automatically grab the entered information and map it to the W drive. I tried the code below but it isn't working, stating a W32 exception.

1 on the p2p thing how do i assign a different username password and network, I can even type anything?
2 can i link say form1 to form2 by a button?
3 I have looked and looked but I cant add a hyperlink
I copied code to map a network drive from [URL] to map the drive and [URL] to delete the drive. I want to know what "R"c means in this code:
RemoveNetworkDrive("R"c, True)
which came from the first link and then I want to know how to simulate this notation in a variable so I can check for the first available drive and map the network drive to that letter.
I've been having huge problems having a VB.NET Windows Forms program run as a scheduled task under XP SP3. The program runs when I set the task up to use my non-admin network username and password, I can see the interface fine (albeit without the desired results - the program requires access to remote shares). When I set the task up with the network administrator account credentials, the task is "Running" but I do not see any interface. It doesn't error - it just kind of sits there happily in the background.

View 4 Replieswhen you log in a username and a password a msgbox will show that you are log in, and then when you enter the same username and password, the program will identify that the username and password is log out. no button will be use in here.
View 5 RepliesI have a form just like the login form in VB.Net. The usernames are prepopulated on a combobox with datas from the SQL DB backend, and the text box for the password entry is empty. My code is working but what I need help is, for the code to validate the username and password entered against that stored on the SQL DB backend. Like when the user selectes a wrong username but the password entered is correct, there shld be a messagebox like "The username selected is wrong", or if the username is correct and the password entered is wrong then the msg is "The password entered is not correct, please type you password using the right case".
