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

IMO your best would be to explain why you are trying to map a drive (i.e. I
mean the overall goal not the way you plan to this for now).

Do you try to map a drive server side ? I would avoid doing such a thing and
would use an UNC drive ? (do you REALLY need a mapped drive ???)

Do you try to map a drive client side ? It looks like it would be best
suitable to do that from the login script rather than using a web
application. If this is to be able to run scripts from a network share they
could be best placed on the NETLOGON share etc....

Knowing exactly what is the overall goal could raise better suggestions...

That's exactly what I would like to do, but I don't see how that could be
done with this class (or other methods I've found). If I were to supply
an
admin username/password, it would map the drive to that admin user -- I
want
to perform this task under an admin account, but the drive should actually
be
mapped for another user.

As for doubting the impossibility of doing this without ActiveX, you might
be right -- I think the Microsoft MVP may have misunderstood what I was
trying to do.
