Rob
Hi,
Does anyone know of a good reference for mapping a network drive
programmaticall y using VB.Net?

Is it best to use API calls or is there a better way to do it?

Thanks
Rob

Hello, I am trying to find a way to create a scheduled task or service that will copy my local profile folders under "Documents and settings" to a network drive. This would allow me to restore my settings if my profile became tampered with or corrupt. Is there any sample code available out there? -Robert

All, I have a situation where a Server exists in a stand alone workgroup on an Active Directory domain. The server can access domain resources with the correct domain security information provided (for example I can map a drive from the server to a server in the AD by connecting as a different user and providing credentials that the AD can authenticate.) The challenge is that I want to access a domain network share programmatically...

My problem is that I want to set file permission on a file on the network using WMI, but the folder might not be mapped which ,as far as I know, WMI needs. So my solution to this would be to map the folder in runtime, but for some reason WMI does not seem to get that I have done the mapping. I still get a "Not Found" exeption. If I check the mapping from within the code it exists. Here is a part of the code I use. Dim FileName as string...

Hello All, I have a web application that is required to copy a file from the WebServer to a remote web server (staging server to production server). I've created an application that maps the network drive, then moves a specified file to the remote server. I've imported the SDK API "WNetAddConnection2A" to map the network drive.

I am actually trying to get the UNC path of the main module of a process running from a mapped drive, and I am trying to do this from a service. The ProcessModule class only provides the full path with the mapped drive letter, but the drive letter refers to the drive mapping for the user that started the process, and cannot be resolved to a UNC path from a service running under LocalSystem. Presumably, therefore, I need to get the drive...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
