#197864 - 2010-02-24 04:22 PM Still cannot delete mapped drives and remap properly
MarkMelanson MarkMelanson Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-10-09 Posts: 24	I have gone through all the articles and still cannot get this to work consistently using v4.60. To Test: I logon I map a drive manually (persistent) to the wrong share I run USE $Letter /delete /persistent I run USE $Letter \\Server\Share When I run it this way the drive does get deleted but it does not get re-mapped to the new share. When I run it via the logon script it does not appear to anything at all. The share does not change. If I run NET USE instead it works fine except users see the CMD.EXE Run from UNC error. I don't mind utilizing NET USE if I can hide the error. I have not had any success with that either. I hope I am just doing something silly. Is there a working UDF I could use instead? Below is what I am currently using in the logon script: Code: Function MapDrive($DriveLetter, $UNC, optional $persistent) dim $subcmd, $pt, $d, $di, $shell, $per ? "Connecting " + $DriveLetter + " to " + $UNC $Ltr = Split($DriveLetter, ":") If exist($DriveLetter + '\') ; shell "%ComSpec% /c net use " + $DriveLetter + " /delete /y> NUL 2>&1" USE $DriveLetter /delete /persistent EndIf If $persistent use $DriveLetter $UNC /persistent Else use $DriveLetter $UNC EndIf If not exist($DriveLetter + '\') $strDrvMapLog = "\\Server\logs$\DrvMapFailure\" + @WKSTA + ".TXT" WriteLog($strPrnMapLog, @DATE + "," + @TIME + "," + @WKSTA + "," + @UserID + "," + $DriveLetter + "," + $grplist) CLS " " ? "COULD NOT MAP DRIVE " + $DriveLetter + " to " $UNC + @CRLF ? "Please contact the ServiceDesk at (XXX)XXX-XXXX for assistance." + @CRLF ? "Press any key to continue..." get$ exit 1 return Endif ENDFUNCTION

I feel pretty confident you could replace the exe with little to no testing. I can think of very few times when the persistent switch is really needed. You might try it without, and many of these problems would disappear. Is your script running as a logon script or GPO/Startup Script?

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	Try "2>&1>NUL:" - this always works for me. Sends the STDERR stream to STDOUT before redirecting STDOUT. I've pretty much moved from SHELL to WshPipe to execute any external commands. The version on my web site is just a tad different than what's posted here, as it returns the STDOUT and STDERR in separate arrays instead of mashing the output together. All output is masked that way, and no dealing with funky intermediate files to capture output. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$
