Vista - Mapping Network Drive With Username & Password

Does this look correct for mapping a network drive and passing the correct
username and password along with it for authentication?

$net = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Network
$net.MapNetworkDrive( "X:", "\\servername\share", "true", "<username>",
"PASSWORD")

Replace True with $true

Hello Jason,
I use:

$cred = get-credential "user"
$domain = "."
$user = $cred.UserName
$net = New-Object -com WScript.Network
$pwd = $cred.Password
$drive = "F:"
$path = "\\server\share";
$net.RemoveNetworkDrive($drive)
$net.mapnetworkdrive($drive, $path, "true", $user, $cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password)

OK, it works if I use my username and password and I am currently logged in.
When I try to access a share I dont' have access to, it gives me an error
even if I put in the username and password for the person who has access.

I want this to run in a script each night without somebody being logged into
the machine to copy log files over to a network share on another machine.
Any more ideas?

I know have:


$net = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Network
$net.MapNetworkDrive( "N:", "\\servername\share", "$true", "USERNAME",
"PASSWORD")

I might also add that this is going to a Linux password network storage
device that has its own username and password that I need to supply to
connect to it. I can connect to it fine going through the RUN command and
giving it the path, the login box pops up, I put in the username and password
and I connect. It doesn't use domain authentication like
domainname\username, just a straight username and password

Just thought I would give some more info if anybody has any ideas.

I cant test it right now but try to remove the double quotes, use only $true
(though it's used only for permanant mapping)
