VBS Script Error The local device name is already in use
I am working with a logon script that someone else wrote and wandering if anyone could help straighten it out.

On the first respnse what would i change that line to? And on the second response,, well here is what we are trying to accomplish. We want the login script to run without error whether we are plugged into our netowrk here or if we login to our tablets from say at home it will still map the drive and get no errors and be persistent, will the shorter version do this?
If you're not on your network, how will you connect to the server? VPN?
It should work either place if so..

Sorry, yes would be vpn. And looks like the shorter version is going to work, thanx for the help.
Glad I could assist you. :^)

My mistake...I didn't update all references..this should work...
Dim objNet:Set objNet=CreateObject("WScri pt.Network ")

Set oDrives = objNet.EnumNetworkDrives

For i = 0 to oDrives.Count -1 Step 2
if strDrive = LCase(oDrives.Item(i)) then
if not strShare = LCase(oDrives.Item(i+1)) then objNet.RemoveNetworkDrive strDrive, true, true
End if
Next
objNet.MapNetworkDrive Drive, Share

Should I just open another question for this, not sure if I should keep posting under this one since i already closed it:)
Now I get the following -
windows script host
line 13:
char: 1
error: the network name cannot be found
code: 80070043

Where are you using WshNetwork?
Your error still points to that reference...WSHNetwork.Map NetworkDri ve
It doesn't matter what you call it (I just use objNet for mine) - but it has to be consistent...

I copied your short version and pasted it into a blank vbs file and called it default.vbs, when I run it I get that error. Should I have put it into my original script somewhere? Or is it supposed to run by itself?
OKay, I guess I misread the error - you did update this line, didn't you?

I'm on the road for a bit, so if you get stuck, you may want to open a new Q.
Otherwise, I'll be checking this again next week.

Hello, yes that is the correct path \\server1\shared. Any other ideas? I am going to go ahead and open another Q on this, so you can continue helping with it if you lik on the new one. Thanx, so far.
