Map Network Drives (version 10.2.0.304)

Post by Rukbunker »

Hey Oleg,

First of all: great to have a "Map Network Drive" option in Robotask! Works great.

However, we also use some mappings without a username and password. These fields in Robotask are mandatory. Is it possible to make them optional or to tick on "use the current username and password"? I have seen in your helpfile you have to specify that in a domain structure, which makes sense to map it with another username or password. In this case, a tick with "current user" or similair is enough.

Here is an example of the script we've used before and this works.

Code: Select all

NET USE V: \\STR_K2SAN\V
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\##STR_K2SAN#V" /v _LabelFromReg /d "V-Schijf" /t REG_SZ /f

That makes sense. I put this into our ToDo list
But note: this will only work in your user session (not in system service mode). The SYSTEM session does not have default credentials, you must specify authorization parameters explicitly.

That's fully understandable from "Windows" design perspective. However, put that information in the help file to avoid unneccesary questions.

Is it true that I still don't see the option "Map as current user" in version 10.2.2.307? Or did you took another approach?

This will happen in the next major release. That is 10.3.
Minor releases do not contain new functions. They only have fixes for bugs and other issues.
