You know... I might be crazy, but I vaguely recall having issues with NET USE as well in certain cases (likely in Terminal instances) as I ended up including a disclaimer with my script that users should log of/reboot to ensure the mapping is in place.

MatthewMcDonald_ews i searched same stuff like crazy the ansmwer is as such (and so badly documented you would want to scream aloud !

 

 

basically you need to use new-psdrive and add -scope global to your script and.... it works like a charm !

New-PSDrive -Name "J" -Root "UNC" -Persist -PSProvider "FileSystem" -scope global 

 

hope this helps ....

 

kind regards

    KieranCork I think you're running pws as administrator. So the mapping is not visible under the logged in user.

    davidblum_dbciYeah, New-PSDrive is what I've been using. I'm pointing to a local directory (OneDrive), so perhaps that is the issue, as it doesn't let you use "-Persist" either.

    I've been searching for this solution for a while, and -scope global makes no difference for me. I've seen others also swear this works and replies to them saying it doesn't.
    I wonder what the difference between our setups is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
