Map network drive

Question

Hi,

We have a local QNAP nas device in our office, and we have X: mapped to this drive with same username and password for everyone.
When we work from home, we connect with VPN and access this drive when we click on X:

We have earlier manually mapped this since we do not have any local AD.
What is the simplest way to accomplish this with intune.

Say I join a new computer, I would like the mapping script to run, but since the machine is not able to contact the QNAP device at the time of joining, I would like it not to timeout, just mount the path and don`t bother if it answers.

net use q: \192.168.1.26\temp /user:user password

This is simple, but If I use this and the IP doesnt answer it does not map offcourse.... I just want to force that to happen.

Suggestions

Thanks for any answers

Answer 1

same username and password for everyone

I strongly suggest you discontinue this practice as it is terrible security wise for several different reasons.

There is no method in Intune to map a drive. The best you can do today is use a PowerShell script.

As for the timeout, there's no way to do this. Mapping a shared drive requires connectivity regardless of the method use to map the drive.

Answer 2

@andreas bright , Agree with Jason, based on my testing with net use command, we can't map a net work driver without network connectivity.

Hope it can help.
