I'm trying to create a script that maps a network drive whenever I connect to a VPN, then disconnects the drive when I disconnect from the VPN, using Task Scheduler to launch the script when the event is created.
It launches the script, which creates the drive, but when Powershell closes, it disconnects the drive, so it only stays open for a few seconds, then closes it again. I have the persist parameter specified, but it doesn't persist.
New-PSDrive -Name "N" -PSProvider FileSystem -Root \(Serverpath)\ndrive -Persist

On the actions tab of a scheduled task, in the parameter box, place this line: -Command "& New-PSDrive -Name N -Root \ (serverpath) \ndrive -PSProvider FileSystem -Persist" – Davidw – 2014-09-27T01:28:02.923
I was able to get it to work with net use, but prefer Powershell, and with the help of someone on Facebook, was able to get it to use Powershell. – Davidw – 2013-10-20T19:08:26.873
