NetUseAdd mystery

[king kikapu]

Is anyone see any error in the following code:

mapDrive = "\\\\MyServer\\C$"
data = {'remote' : mapDrive, 'local' : 'M:', 'password' :
'mypassword', 'user' : 'Administrator', 'asg_type' : 0}
win32net.NetUseAdd(None, 1, data)

It gives me "pywintypes.error: (1326, 'NetUseAdd', 'Logon failure:
unknown user name or bad password.')" and i cannot figured out why...I
searched the forum about the syntax of NetUseAdd command and i think
that the syntax is correct and also are the data that i pass to it.
(the same data can give me a connection if i use "net use ..." from a
command line"

So, what am i doing the wrong way (and keeps me on this the last 2
hours??...)
Thanks for a any enlightenment...

I think your problem is that C$ is a "special" share. Try creating
a share and connect to it instead. It is either that your your userid/
password are in fact incorrect.

No, my credentials are absolutely correct. As for the "$", what is the
possible problem with that ?? Net use is working great and i think
that also the net functions of win32api are working correct.
The problem must be in some other point...

You need to use level 2 info to pass the username.
Level 1 is for the old-style share with its own password.
Also, it should be 'username': instead of just 'user':.

Roger many-many thanks! That was it, i had to put "username" instead
of "user" and 2 instead of 1 at the calling...

Thanks again!
