Can't you just use:-

net share sharename=\\myserver\directory


and use trusts, or something like that?

yeah i was working along the lines of response 2 on friday - cheers guys...

p.s. the other domain is run by the other IT dept, who are evil >( and make no effort to help.. so trusts etc wont be happening

hi guys,

anyone got a vbs script to hand to allow a user to connect to a shared folder, now this is the difficult bit, the shared folder is on another domain (the users have different usernames and pass'es for the other domain), so the script will have to:
a) auth the user on the other domain
b) map drive on the other domain

cheers 4 any info

This should do want you are looking for. I have assumed that the required shares would be hardcoded in the script and the users credentials are entered as parameters when the script is run:

Option Explicit

Dim oWshNetwork

Set oWshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

If (WScript.Arguments.Count < 2) Then
WScript.Echo "Script usage: MapNetworkDrive.vbs <user> <password>"
WScript.Quit(1)
End If

' object.MapNetworkDrive(strLocalName, strRemoteName, [bUpdateProfile], [strUser], [strPassword])
'
On Error Resume Next
oWshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "I:", "\\servername\sharename", False, WScript.Arguments(0), WScript.Arguments(1)

If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
WScript.Echo "Error: " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
WScript.Quit(1)
End If

On Error Goto 0

To use the id of a user on another domain to map the network drive:
- Scriptname.vbs domain\username password

Cheers

I think that you could also do:

NET USE i: \\servername\sharename password /user:domain\username
