Map network drive for user via ASP.NET

Hello,

I'm trying to create an admin page that can run miscellaneous scripts for
our IT department. Currently, I'm trying to create a script that can map a
network drive for a user (e.g. a form where I can input \\path\folder, drive
letter, and domain\user). Is this possible? If so, can someone point me in
the right direction?

Thank you,
Brian Nicholson

first - this is not an ASPx group, it is a classic ASP group

ASPx is here:

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

second- your question is about scripting, not ASP or ASPx so you may want to post it here:

microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript

I doubt this will be possible without using a .hta page with javascript. You
will probably have better success doing this via the network login scripts.
Post to .scripting.vbscript for help with that. This is not really an
ASP/ASP.Net issue.

Having said that:
There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions in this newsgroup before posting yours - always a
recommended practice) , but this is a classic (COM-based) asp newsgroup.
ASP.Net bears very little resemblance to classic ASP so, while you may be
lucky enough to find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who can answer your
question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a
group where those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet or the forums at www.asp.net.

Thanks for the advice -- I've reposted my question in the more relevant
newsgroup.
