Map network drive

Hi,

We have a local QNAP nas device in our office, and we have X: mapped to this drive with same username and password for everyone.
When we work from home, we connect with VPN and access this drive when we click on X:

We have earlier manually mapped this since we do not have any local AD.
What is the simplest way to accomplish this with intune.

Say I join a new computer, I would like the mapping script to run, but since the machine is not able to contact the QNAP device at the time of joining, I would like it not to timeout, just mount the path and don`t bother if it answers.

net use q: \\192.168.1.26\temp /user:user password

This is simple, but If I use this and the IP doesnt answer it does not map offcourse.... I just want to force that to happen.

Suggestions

Thanks for any answers

same username and password for everyone

I strongly suggest you discontinue this practice as it is terrible security wise for several different reasons.

There is no method in Intune to map a drive. The best you can do today is use a PowerShell script.

As for the timeout, there's no way to do this. Mapping a shared drive requires connectivity regardless of the method use to map the drive.

@andreasbright-4989, Agree with Jason, based on my testing with net use command, we can't map a net work driver without network connectivity.

Hope it can help.

but with Powershell, you need to be an admin to allow scripts....

Assuming you are referring to the execution policy, sign your script and configure the execution policy to All Signed.

But it needs to be signed by an official CA or not??
or how does one do this?

There's no such thing as an "official CA".

This post doesn't explicitly address the question of how to sign a script, but it contains a lot of supplemental information as well as additional links to documentation on how to do this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/intune-customer-success/adding-a-certificate-to-trusted-publishers-using-intune/ba-p/1974488
