Hello All,
I would like to know how I can create a VBS script to prompt for credentials in order to map a drive, such as using RUNAS command with .MapNetworkDrive method?
I have disabled right-click on machines, thus that option is not available. I would rather let the small app sit on the desktop and allow authorized users only to map to the specified drive.

TIA,
Altria

BTW Win2k3 AD and xpsp2 clients





You can use

Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter, strRemotePath,strProfile, strUser, strPassword

Look here how to mask the password :

PS in MSH :

MSH>$cred = get-credential ; (new -com WScript.Network).MapNetworkDrive("x:","\\localhost\d$",$null,$cred.user,$cred.GetNetworkCredential().password)
.
