New-CMTSStepConnectNetworkFolder

SYNOPSIS

Create a Connect To Network Folder step, which you can add to a task sequence.

SYNTAX

New-CMTSStepConnectNetworkFolder [-Drive <String>] -Path <String> -UserName <String>
 [-UserPassword <SecureString>] [-Condition <IResultObject[]>] [-ContinueOnError] [-Description <String>]
 [-Disable] -Name <String> [-DisableWildcardHandling] [-ForceWildcardHandling] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This cmdlet creates a new Connect To Network Folder step object. Then use the Add-CMTaskSequenceStep cmdlet to add the step to a task sequence. For more information on this step, see About task sequence steps: Connect To Network Folder.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

This example first uses the ConvertTo-SecureString built-in cmdlet to create a secure string for the user password. This method is used here as a simple example, but not the most secure since the plain text password is in the script. For more information on this cmdlet and other options, see ConvertTo-SecureString.

The next line creates an object for the Connect To Network Folder step, which connects the Z: drive to a network share as the _osdnetfolder service account.

It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.

$Secure_String_Pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "P@ssW0rD!" -AsPlainText -Force

$step = New-CMTSStepConnectNetworkFolder -Name "Connect To Network Folder" -Drive "Z:" -Path "\\server\share$" -UserName "contoso\_osdnetfolder" -UserPassword $Secure_String_Pwd

$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment"
$tsOsd = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsNameOsd -Fast

$tsOsd | Add-CMTaskSequenceStep -Step $step -InsertStepStartIndex 11
