Powershell: how to map a network drive with a different username/password

Question

Background: Assume I use the following powershell script from my local machine to automatically map some network drives. ``` $net = $(New-Object -ComObject WScript.Network); $net.MapNetworkDrive("p:", "\papabox\files"); $net = $(New-Object -ComObject WScript.Network); $net.MapNetworkDrive("q:", "\quebecbox\files"); ## problem -- this one does not work because my username/password ## is different on romeobox $net = $(New-Object -ComObject WScript.Network); $net.MapNetworkDrive("r:", "\romeobox\files"); ``` Question: How do I modify the script so that I can also connect to romeobox, even though my username/password on romeobox is different from that of the other two boxes?

Accepted Answer

```
$net = new-object -ComObject WScript.Network
$net.MapNetworkDrive("r:", "\romeobox\files", $false, "domain\user", "password")
```

Should do the trick,
