the following is a windows services which maps the home drive and a W drive. Everything works well if i execute the code under a user. Since this is a service running under local system I used an impersonation class to call it. The impersonation works perfectly when creating shortcuts to the drives on the desktop, however it will not map the drives using net use command. I want the drives to be mapped non persistent. I have attached my complete code below along with the impersonation class. Is there a way to map these drives non persistent under current user using impersonation?
namespace HdriveMapService2
{
public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
{
public Service1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
using (ImpersonationUtils.ImpersonateCurrentUser())
//check if Hdrive exists
if (!Directory.Exists(@"H:\"))
{
//ping Hdrive server
try
{ //find current domain controller
using (PrincipalContext context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
{
string controller = context.ConnectedServer;
//ping current domain controller
Ping ping = new Ping();
PingReply pingReply = ping.Send(controller);
if (pingReply.Status == IPStatus.Success)
{
try
{
//get current username
string username = Environment.UserName;
Console.WriteLine(username);
Console.ReadLine();
//Lookup current username in AD
DirectoryEntry myLdapConnection = createDirectoryEntry();
DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(myLdapConnection);
search.Filter = "(cn=" + username + ")";
//Search for User's Home Directory
string[] requiredProperties = new string[] { "homeDirectory" };
foreach (String property in requiredProperties)
search.PropertiesToLoad.Add(property);
SearchResult result = search.FindOne();
// If home directory info is not blank
if (result != null)
{
//pass the homedirectory path into a variable
string path = "";
foreach (String property in requiredProperties)
foreach (Object myCollection in result.Properties[property])
path = (myCollection.ToString());
//map Hdrive (non persistent map)
//create a desktop shortcut to Hdrive
var wsh = new IWshShell_Class();
IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut shortcut = wsh.CreateShortcut(
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) + "\\H Drive.lnk") as IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut;
shortcut.TargetPath = path;
shortcut.Save();
//map Wdrive (non persistent map)
//create a desktop shortcut to Wdrive
var wsh2 = new IWshShell_Class();
IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut shortcut2 = wsh2.CreateShortcut(
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) + "\\W Drive.lnk") as IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut;
shortcut2.TargetPath = @"\\path\path-groups";
shortcut2.Save();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("net.exe", "use /persistent:NO H: " + path);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("net.exe", @"use /persistent:NO W: \\path\path-groups");

I advise you to add some debug trace and see what account you code is factually running under and then verify that this account is allowed at least to see these UNC paths/shares.
I took a different approach to solve the issue. I complied the drive map as an executable. Built a windows service with a timer. Added the executable as a file in the service setup project and made the service call that executable under impersonation and all works perfectly. If anyone has any questions or is struggling with something similar, this may help. I'll be happy to provide details if needed.
Thanks,
Ray
