Re: Map network drive for user using VB/ASP.NET

it sounds like you are trying to update the users profile and maybe the login
script. this can be done if the web site appdomin runs as a network admin or
you use kerberos and an admin logs on. see the wmi library for the routines.
you will need to switch to a nt admin forum to learn how to use wmi.

I kind of understand what you're saying, but I didn't think I was using
the
browser itself as a means to perform the task -- I don't want the drive to
be
mapped on the client computer that's actually going to the web app. I was
considering something like an admin page where the admin could enter
certain
things like a network path, username, etc., and the app would use these
values in a VB script which could then perform the function (as if we
weren't
using a web app to begin with), e.g. using something similar to VBScript's
MapNetworkDrive.

Please clarify on which machine you intend to map a network drive: the
client machine, the web server or a different machine altogether...

From my understanding of mapped network drives, they're done per user; the
drives aren't mapped on the actual machine. If by which machine I intend to
use to map it you meant the machine that will do the actual mapping, I
suppose the web server will do that. Basically, I want to be able to use
administrative rights over some web application that allows me to map a
network folder to a drive for a specified user.
