Do you have any solution for this action?

Hi Mateusz,

Could you elaborate on what you are trying to accomplish? Are you looking at using Blue Prism to automate the mapping of network drives?

Cheers

If you need to do this from within Blue Prism you will likely end up using the "net use" command line command, together with the "Utility - Environment" VBO, "Start Process" action to map your network drives.

I have seen customers map network drives by having this command run in a batch file on Windows Startup, so that the Digital Worker can have the network drive mapped before any work begins. Having the drive mapped on windows login is probably the preferred solution, if you always need to have the drive mapped regardless of what process is executing on that machine.
