Mapping to a sharepoint web folder from a windows 7 computer using a logon script
Hello,I'm trying to map to a sharepoint web folder from a windows 7 computer using a logon script.I get the following error:The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not been authenticated.Code: 800704DCSource: WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDriveFrom the command prompt if I supply a username and password I get through no problem. The script runs fine for XP workstations.I see a similar problem listed for Vista in KB 941050Any idea?Thanks..The hotfix doesn't run oon Win 7.

OK,Just did some testing on this and I believe I have found the solution...You need to use the WebDav path rather than the URL. See the below example:URL: http://server/sitenameshould be mapped asWebDav: \\server\DavWWWRoot\sitenameFYI, if you are enforcing HTTPS for SharePoint, the syntax for mapping would be:\\server@SSL\DavWWWRoot\sitenameThis worked for me!Hope this helps.

Hello again,I just tried the solution and it still doesn't work.Same error as before:The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not been authenticated.Code: 800704DCSource: WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDriveI forgot to mention this before, but if the site (or any site on the same server) was previously manually mapped in the current session, it has no problem mapping it. Otherwise, it spits out this error.Please advise!

Hi, Thank you for your update. I also suspect this issue is related to the specific script; please also go to our Scripting Forum for help. Thanks. Nicholas Li - MSFT

I have the same problem. My server is not available via \\server only https://

I have found the solution to my problem and would like to share it with others here: The reason I was getting access denied was because the web share on the IIS server was set for Basic Authentication only. The MapNetworkDrive cannot handle basic authentication. I added Windows Integrated Authentication to my web share and that solved the problem. Barry Murry
