Using Languard and VBscript

I am using languard to run a vbscript that will temporarily map a drive and then remove the mapped drive. When I run the script locally, it runs without a hitch. When I push the script to another machine, I get a "800700005 Access denied error". The error occurrs on the line where the MapNetworkDrive method exists. My script is below. I've tried using different credentials, but it doesn't matter. I get the same results. Any help would be appreciated.

Dim WSHNetwork

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

WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "G:", "\\ima4\netlogon\manualupdates"

Const OverwriteExisting = TRUE

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FSO.CopyFile "g:\scx2kpx.xslt" , "C:\STRATA\VIEW32\Users\NS000000\scx2kpx.xslt", OverwriteExisting

WSHNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "G:"

does net use work for you?

Well, yes & no. The batch file would be much less complicated, I admit.

I originally created a batch file thtat contained "net use g: \\ima4\netlogon\manualupdates" (which operated seemlessly), but I ran into a snag using the xcopy command. I want the script/batch file to execute w/no interaction from the users.

The xcopy command prompts to "create file or directory" & prompts overwrite protection. I know that both of these are supposed to have the ability to be disabled with /I and /Y respectively, but the "/I" doesn't seem to work. I even tried "Echo /I|xcopy" with no luck. That issue prompted to switch to a scripting method, which works flawlessly when excuted at the desktop but not when being pushed to the desktop.

Any tips here? Am I making this too complicated? Am I overlooking something here? I am getting down to the wire & need to push this out.

I didn't know about "COMPSPEC". I had to add credentials to the net use command & deleted the drive after copying the file. After that, it worked great! Thanks for your help!!
