Subject: RE: [Talk] UNC vs mapped drives
Stephen.
I regularly use the UNC address rather than the mapped drive letter in my
scripts. Here is a snippet of VB code where the paths are set and then
checked.
Dim test1 As Boolean
Dim test2 As Boolean
Dim fs As Object
Set fs = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
OutFolder = "\\clientimp01\c\outbound\ksmd\"
InFolder = "\\bridge\c\bridge\payacks\ksmd\get\"
test1 = False
test2 = False
' Check for existence of data paths. If path is not found then
' add message to log file.
test1 = fs.folderexists(OutFolder)
If test1 = False Then
Msg_ = "Path " & OutFolder & " is not available."
AddLog Msg_
End If
test2 = fs.folderexists(InFolder)
If test2 = False Then
Msg_ = "Path " & InFolder & " is not available."
AddLog Msg_
End If

Subject: [Talk] UNC vs mapped drives
All of my scripts on my scripting server interact with other files on other
servers. I have several mapped drives set up pointing to the appropriate
folders. However, I run into problems as the mapped drives are very
unreliable. They will disconnect and cause the the script to crash. The
only other option I can think of is simply using the UNC path instead of a
mapped drive. But I have been unsuccessfuly with this in the past. Will
Boston Workstation recognize and interact properly using the UNC paths? If
not, any recommendations on how to keep my mapped drives up? I have
reconnect at login set to Y, but the machine is never logged off, so there
is no logging in to reconnect the drive. Is there a VB command that I can
run in the beginning of each script to make sure the drive is connected,
All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen Smesny
