MapDrv
MapDrv provides network share functions for ThinkVantage Technology products.
MapDrv is used to connect and disconnect ThinkVantage Technology products
with network shares. The network share information is contained in the registry
and includes the network share name as an encrypted string. Network share
information
is
stored
in
the
registry
at
HKLM\Software\Lenovo\MND\<app
id>.
If an Active Directory policy is used, these values are stored at:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Lenovo\MND\<app id>.
MapDrv allows you to use the encryption engine to generate an encrypted
username and password, which can be used to pre-populate network share
information on multiple systems. By using the encryption engine, it does not
update the registry in the system it’s running on.
The command-line interface to MapDrv is as follows:
mapdrv
/<function><app
id>
/unc
<sharename>
/user
<username>
/pwd
<password> [/timeout <seconds>] [/s]
The MapDrv command will implement the user interface to map a network drive.
The mapdrv.exe command can be found in the C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Lenovo\MND directory. The mapping network drive interface supports the
following parameters:
Syntax:
mapdrv [switches]
Entering the command with no parameters launches the application and the
information must be entered manually.
The return codes for all parameters are:
v 0 = success
v >0= failed
When MapDrv is launched with no parameters, the user is prompted for the
network share, user name, and password. It then attempts to connect to the
specified network share using the specified credentials.
The following table provides information about the parameters and the result of
each parameter for MapDrv:
