Set up a network share silently?

[ShminkyBoy]

Ok, new thread, same topic; hopefully someone can help me solve this =)

I need to retreive the user's name *and* password to silently set up network shares.

the working .bat file commands are as follows:

REM V: Drive

Net Use V: /Delete
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 @ECHO No V: Drive to reset, continuing...
Net Use V: \\10.1.0.45\Home %PASSWORD% /user:%USERNAME%
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 pause

Here's what I have so far in AutoIT, which fails:

expandcollapse popup

#NoTrayIcon
#include "Misc.au3"

;` Run only one instance
if _Singleton("Remap",1) = 0 Then
    Exit
EndIf

;~ Update environment variables
EnvUpdate()

$Status = RemapShare("V:","\\10.1.0.45\Home",EnvGet("USERNAME"),EnvGet("PASSWORD"))
If @error then MsgBox(0x41010,"COMPANY network share - Error!","Drive V: " & $Status & " -  Error code " & @error & ".  ",5)

;~ End
exit

;~ Remap persistent net shares
Func RemapShare($sDriveLetter, $sNetPath, $sUsername = "username", $sPassword = "password")
    $RetVal = DriveMapGet($sDriveLetter)
    If @error > 0 Then
        $RetVal = DriveMapAdd($sDriveLetter, $sNetPath, 0, $sUsername, $sPassword)
        If @error > 0 Then
            Seterror(1)
            return "FAILED"
        EndIf
        seterror(0)
        Return "MAPPED"
    Else
        If $RetVal <> $sNetPath Then
            SetError(2)
            Return "CONFLICT"
        EndIf
        $RetVal = DriveMapDel ($sDriveLetter)
        If @error > 0 Then
            Seterror(3)
            return "FAILED"
        EndIf
        $RetVal = DriveMapAdd($sDriveLetter, $sNetPath, 0, $sUsername, $sPassword)
        If @error > 0 Then
            Seterror(4)
            return "FAILED"
        EndIf
        seterror(0)
        Return "REMAPPED"
    Endif   
Endfunc

Basically, I want the script to silently remap the drive share using the logged on user's credentials with no user intervention.

I figured I could use EnvGet() to get the user password from the environment variable, but it fails at the drivemapadd() line

Is this incorrect? Is there another way to do what I want?

If the script is running as the user, and it attempts to map a drive it should use their network creds automatically. So you should be able to omit those options on the DriveMapAdd function.

At least that is how it works for me in my environment, with is a domain setup.

I did not see the other thread, so I am not sure what others have already told you, sorry if it is repetitive.

Thank you, this worked!
