    ' Functions to handle network share authentication and mapped drives.
    ' Also includes short demo (in PBMAIN) and drive listing function.
    ' Code written for PB/WIN 9 and tested on Vista and Windows XP Pro+Home.

    Hi Kevin,

    Have you run your code on a Win 2008 server?

    I have been using WnetAddConnection2 with good success until I tried it on a Win 2008 server (x86). I keep getting permission errors, even with all that stuff provided in the command.

    Once I get it working in the office, I have to implement it on a clients Win 2008 R2 x64 box.

    Any thoughts you have would be appreciated!!!

      Hey, me again,

      I just compiled your code and ran it on my Win 2008 x86. It worked well. I am going to dig into it further to see what you are doing that I am not. No need to get back to me. Thanks for posting your code!!!

        OK, I just tested the part of this code that maps a new drive letter and the part that "un-maps" a drive letter. My test was compiled as a service application running on a Win 2008 R2 x64 virtual server with no account logged in. It worked great! Just in case anyone cares
