New-PSDrive does not support credentials?

Question

I am trying to map a drive in PowerShell 2.0 and getting this error?

New-PSDrive –Name ftp –PSProvider FileSystem –Root “\\\\server\\folder” -Credential $cre         


        

Answer 1

echo "pass"| net use \\server\share /user:domain\user

it is also working :)

Answer 2

If you still get the error after installing KB2819745 (powershell 4) then you might have forgotten Dotnet 4.5.

DotNet 4.5 is a requirement for WinRM 4 / Powershell 4, yet the msu installs without it.

This was the issue i was facing, after installing KB2819745 i still got the error. Install Dotnet 4.5 and then rerun KB2819745. Strangely it will reinstall when you installed dotnet, but without dotnet it says its already installed

Answer 3

It's a bug in PowerShell 2.0

Workaround from the above link:

$net = new-object -ComObject WScript.Network
$net.MapNetworkDrive("u:", "\\server\share", $false, "domain\user", "password")

Supposedly fixed in 3.0 (I haven't tested it myself).
