Mapping Drives
I understand this isn't the best way to go about mapping drives, but it's what i need to do. I'm banging my head against the wall because I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have it set to run as logged in user and have attempted with both CMD and PS.
I've tried pushing the "net use Z: \server\share /persistent:yes" with and without the persistent part. It will say successful the first time, but there is no drive mapped. If I try again, it fails because it says it's already there. If I log out and back in, I'm able to "successfully" push again with the prior result.
Trying with a bat file, I get the following error -
C:\WINDOWS\AdminArsenal\PDQDeployRunner\service-1\exec>reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v NetDriveMap /t REG_SZ /d "net use Z: \server\shares\it /persistent:yes"
ERROR: Invalid syntax.
Type "REG ADD /?" for usage

I just did this in PDQ deploy and it worked for me
That's identical to what I'm doing except I didn't have the /p:yes. I added it and I still get a success in PDQ but it does not show mapped for me.
I've disabled Symantec, I've installed another package to make sure it's actually communicating, I don't know. Is there a log somewhere I can use to start narrowing it down?
To narrow down your search have you tried running
net use Z: \server\share /persistent:yes'in a (non-administrator) CMD prompt on one of your targeted machines, to verify it runs for the logged on user.Another one to check, even though the package may be set to "Run As: logged in user" you can override/change this in when deploying, confirm that it is also set correctly in the deployment window
I'm trying on my computer and it isn't working. If I run it manually, locally, it works.
Try using this PowerShell cmdlet. If it's failing for some reason it should give you better errors.
