Hello what is the equivalent of the following:
net use Z: \\computername\c$ /u:computername\username 'password'
in powershell ?

Hmm, not quite, I want to map toward C$
I get the following error:
new-psdrive : Drive root "\\computername\c$" does not exist or it is not a folder.
At line:1 char:1
+ new-psdrive -name Z -psprovider Filesystem -Root "\\computername\c$"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ReadError: (Z:PSDriveInfo) [New-PSDrive], IOException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DriveRootError,Microsoft.P

You may want to look at the "credential" section of the link in my comment since you want to map to an admin share.
I am able to map it but how do i pass the password via powershell script without having that pop up. And, I have to remove the mapped drive because of security. Thanks.
You can pass the password into the script using pscredential
-Credential<PSCredential>
Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user.
Type a user name, such as "User01" or "Domain01\User01". Or, enter a PSCredential object, such as one generated by the Get-Credential cmdlet. If you type a user name, you will be prompted for a password.
Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, when the value of the Root parameter is a UNC path, you can use credentials to create file system drives. This parameter is not supported by all Windows PowerShell providers.
You can do some research on that to determine how to proceed.
