DriveMapAdd
Maps a network drive
DriveMapAdd "device", "remote share" [, flags [, "user" [, "password"]]]
Parameters
| device | The device to map, for example "O:" or "LPT1:". If you pass a blank string for this parameter a connection is made but not mapped to a specific drive. If you specify "*" an unused drive letter will be automatically selected. |
| remote share | The remote share to connect to in the form "\\server\share". |
| flags | Optional: A combination of the following: 0 = default 1 = Persistant mapping 8 = Show authentication dialog if required |
| user | Optional: The username to use to connect. In the form "username" or "domain\username". |
| password | Optional: The password to use to connect. |
Return Value
| Success: | Returns 1. (See Remarks) |
| Failure: | Returns 0 if a new mapping could not be created and sets oAutoIt.error (see below). (See Remarks) |
Remarks
When the function fails (returns 0) oAutoIt.error contains extended information:
1 = Undefined / Other error
2 = Access to the remote share was denied
3 = The device is already assigned
4 = Invalid device name
5 = Invalid remote share
6 = Invalid password
Note: When using "*" for the device parameter the drive letter selected will be returned instead of 1 or 0, e.g. "U:". If there was an error using "*" then a blank string "" will be returned.
