Hi All,
I’m busy testing if a network drive is correctly mapped

PowerShell

$destination1=”\\server\domain.com\ITglobal\MDM” #$destination2 = “\\backup.domain.com\laptop-backup-01\username$” if(!(test-path Z:)){ write-host “checking if networkdrive is mapped” $cred = Import-Clixml -Path “${env:\userprofile}\Paulst.Cred” New-PSDrive -name Z -root $destination -PSProvider FileSystem -Credential $cred }Else { Write-Host “drive is mapped” }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

$destination1=”\\server\domain.com\ITglobal\MDM” #$destination2 = “\\backup.domain.com\laptop-backup-01\username$” if(!(test-path Z:)){ write-host “checking if networkdrive is mapped” $cred = Import-Clixml -Path “${env:\userprofile}\Paulst.Cred”   New-PSDrive -name Z -root $destination -PSProvider FileSystem -Credential $cred }Else { Write-Host “drive is mapped” }

When I do use the destination2 location it’s working like a charm
however when I use destination location it will fail even when I have this drive correctly mapped in my windows explorer and can access it.
how can I check where it goes wrong?

thanks Paul

PowerShell

$destination1=”\\server\domain.com\ITglobal\MDM”

1	$destination1=”\\server\domain.com\ITglobal\MDM”

has a \ that should be a .

PowerShell

$destination1=”\\server.domain.com\ITglobal\MDM”

1	$destination1=”\\server.domain.com\ITglobal\MDM”

Hi

no it’s suppose to be like this

PowerShell

$destination=”\\nas\companyname.com\itglobal\MDM”

1	$destination=”\\nas\companyname.com\itglobal\MDM”

I adapted the names for not reveling the company name
