Tom Hendrix Tom Hendrix Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-06-26 Posts: 5 Loc: Belgium	I was able to map drives without a label ! But I can't get a label to work !?!?! It always gives a name like 'sharedfolder on server2' The client PC's are windows 2k & XP What can be wrong?

They allow to apply a label to a mapped drive. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Tom Hendrix Tom Hendrix Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-06-26 Posts: 5 Loc: Belgium	Hello, I used this script , but it maps without the correct label. What can be wrong ? Function MapDrive($DriveLetter, $UNC, optional $Label, optional $Icon, optional $Delete, optional $persistent) dim $subcmd, $pt, $d, $di, $shell, $per $d = left($DriveLetter,1) $di= "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\DriveIcons" $pt= @producttype if $pt = "Windows NT Workstation" $subcmd="subst" $per='' else $subcmd="net use" if $persistent $per='/PERSISTENT ' endif endif if $delete shell '%comspec% /c $subcmd $d: /d $per 1>Nul 2>&1' $=deltree("$di\$D") endif shell '%comspec% /c $subcmd $D: "$UNC" $per 1>Nul 2>&1' if not exist('$D:\') exit 1 return endif if $pt="Windows XP Professional" or $pt="Windows 2000 Professional" if $Label $shell=createobject("shell.application") $shell.namespace('$D:\').self.name=$Label endif if $icon $=writevalue('$di\$D\DefaultIcon','','$Icon',REG_SZ) endif endif ENDFUNCTION MapDrive("x","\\server1\general","Test share","C:\WINNT\system32\moricons.dll,21",1)

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	no, I wasn't talking about possible errors. I was talking about his post being screwed badly and thus being almost unreadable. what comes to the labeling problem, gave some shots at it. it's known problem (amongst inner-circle) so there is not much anyone can do as it would have been done already. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Or try this one: MapDrive() - Maps a UNC name to a specific driveletter . BTW, it is sufficient to reference a UDF incl. URL instead of posting it. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Tom Hendrix Tom Hendrix Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-06-26 Posts: 5 Loc: Belgium	This is working fine now (including icon's and names) thx guys! Now I have another problem. I activated run logon scripts synchronously (for users) for getting the mapping to work but some users cannot logon anymore because some parts of the script won't execute ... How should I fix this ??? setting up a script timeout or something ? how do I do that ? note : the scripts are working fine but stops because he tries to make a network mapping wich already exists. I also made a logoff script wich unmappes all the network drives... Is this a good solution ? [ 30. June 2003, 14:29: Message edited by: Tom Hendrix ]

It will alos set/remove persistent connections. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
