MapNetworkDrive Method

Adds a shared network drive to your computer system.



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

strLocalName: String value indicating the name by which the mapped drive will be known locally.

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.

An attempt to map a non-shared network drive results in an error.

The following code maps the logical drive "E" to a network share with the UNC name "\\Server\Public."

Dim WshNetwork

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "E:", "\\Server\Public"

var WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network");

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive ("E:", "\\\\Server\\Public");
