是否有用于映射网络驱动器的cmdlet？

Question

I am trying to backup database to a network file system using Backup-Sqldatabase cmdlet in powershell. Is there a cp_cmdshell net use equivalent in PowerShell which can be used in PowerShell script?

In SQL, I use below to map network drives. How can I map drive in PowerShell?

exec xp_cmdshell 'NET USE \\Backuppath  "pwd" /USER:sa'

Answer 1

You can use the New-PSDrive cmdlet to map a network path to a drive, eg W :

$username = 'domain\user'
$password = 'password' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $password

New-PSDrive -Name W -PSProvider FileSystem -Root '\\Backuppath' -Credential $cred

Answer 2

New-PSDrive –Name “Z” –PSProvider FileSystem –Root “<<network_path>>” –Persist

Above command work when the account executing it has access to the shared path. Else, you need to provide credentials via. -credential parameter

Answer 3

I used invoke-expression with net use to map network drive and it worked fine.

Invoke-Expression "net use B: //backuppath pwd /user:domain\\user\u0026quot;
