Issue/Introduction

In DMS script call of NetMap function to map a share returns False.

 

But "net use" command for same share is working fine.

 

Example :

ServShare="\\share1\office365$\test"

If NetMap("Y:", ServShare) Then
  PRINT "NetMap is OK"
Else
  PRINT "NetMap is not OK"
Endif

 

Execution of this script returns "NetMap is not OK"

But execution of this command is working fine :

net use y: \\share1\office365$\test

Environment

Client Automation 14.5 CU6 or CU7

Cause

The logged user has enough rights to map the share. net use command works fine without specifying user/password.

NetMap calls a "map share" windows function using an empty string for password. But in some environment empty string password does not work and NULL value should be used instead of empty string.
