WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive

Add a shared network drive mapping.

Syntax 
      WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive(strLocalDrive, strRemoteShare, [persistent], [strUser], [strPassword])
Options:

   strLocalDrive  : The drive letter (e.g. L:)
   
   strRemoteShare : The UNC path to the remote drive \\MyServer\MyPrinter
                    (String value)
   
   persistent     : True/False - store the mapping persistently in the users profile
                    default = false
   
   strUser        :  The user name. (Optional)
   
   strPassword    :  The password. (Optional)

Examples

Dim objNetwork
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strLocalDrive = "H:"
strRemoteShare = "\\myserver\users"
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strLocalDrive, strRemoteShare, False

The example script below takes this a stage further, disconnecting the drive letter first (and coded to cope with persistent and/or disconnected drive shares)

DriveMap.vbs - Connect a local drive letter to a remote file share

For workgroup machines sharing files via pass-thru authentication with no domain login script, a persistent drive map can be used. Persistent drives will automatically connect to the resource whenever it is available.
