How to Map a Network Drive with a Password

[eds]

Greetings All!

I'm trying to write a script that will map a network drive (XP PC) that requires a user name and password. I also want it to save the username and password. I tried the DriveMapAdd function but it doesn't save the username and password on reboot.

So right now I'm running this command which works up to a point:

Run ("net use b: \\10.100.100.225\g /savecred /persistent:yes")

After several seconds of starting to run this, there is a command line prompt to enter the user, then after entering that, another prompt to enter the password.

How do I script for AuotIt to wait for these prompts and enter the specified data accordingly?

Thanks!

Maby WinWaitActive() is what your looking for?

The net use command supports username and password. Open CMD and type Net Use /? or search in google for the correct syntacs

Try this:

$usr = "administrator"
$pwd = "Test"
Run ("net use b: \\10.100.100.225\g /savecred /persistent:yes /user:" $usr & " " & $pwd)

Unfortunately the above didn't work at all. Thanks for the suggestion. I found that Microsoft states that the net use command will not store a password permanently in the credentials manager. . It seems the only way a password is stored is when it is entered on the GUI interface

If you don't use the /savecred switch it should work!
