Hi:
The problem is that when File Explorer shows the red X is because the
network share is really disconnected, so when you click on this drive then
right there it is reconnected, and that's why it works after that.
The solution is to check the connection status (you can query from CMD with
NET USE and will see a "disconnected") and if disconnected, reconnect again.
For doing this reconnection you can use CreateObject("WScript.Network") and
then use MapNetworkDrive method to reconnect the drives.
EnumNetworkDrives.count returns the number of networks shares, on which
every impair value es the drive letter and every pair value is the
corresponding share (there can be empty letters)
I'm not sure where in the registry are the mappings caches, to query this
and remap them automatically if not already connected.
Regards!
