DFS shares mapperd using VBS

by matt h . Updated 22 years ago

Hi All

For some reason I can’t map to a DFS share from a VBS login script – I get ‘Unable to connect to network share’. I get a If I use standard UNC paths to a server it works, if I do Run| \\dfsroot\sharename it works fine, but defeats the object of using DFS. I’ve wondered if it needs a different approach but I don’t know that much about VBS – still learnin’! I’ve got:

Dim objFileSys

Set objFileSys = CreateObject (“Scripting.FileSystemObject” )

Is this correct?

eg: (‘DOMAIN’ is the domain name and DFS Root)

‘K: Departments
If IsMember( “Domain Users” ) Then
Call MapDrive (“K:”, “DOMAIN”, “Departments”)

The mapping bit goes…

If objFileSys.DriveExists(strDrive) = True Then
objWshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive strDrive, , True
End If

‘Build path to share
strPath = “\\” & strDFSRoot & “\” & strShare

End If

strDFSRoot = domain/DFS Root
strShare = Share

Has anyone else seen this? It’s a new domain and I can’t go live untill this is sorted and it’s realy starting to anoy me!

Thanks
