## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Running the Tool
|
|
|
|
1. Compile `NetworkDriveManager.iss` with Inno Setup
|
|
2. Run the generated executable
|
|
3. Select options from the menu
|
|
4. Enter your legacy domain password when prompted
|
|
|
|
### Backup File Location
|
|
|
|
Backups are saved to:
|
|
```
|
|
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\NetworkDriveMappings.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Backup Format
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"BackupDate": "2025-01-19 15:30:00",
|
|
"ComputerName": "WORKSTATION01",
|
|
"Username": "jsmith",
|
|
"Mappings": [
|
|
{
|
|
"DriveLetter": "S:",
|
|
"RemotePath": "\\\\tsgwp00525.wjs.geaerospace.net\\shared",
|
|
"ServerName": "tsgwp00525.wjs.geaerospace.net",
|
|
"ShareName": "shared",
|
|
"IsLegacy": true
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Error Handling
|
|
|
|
| Error Code | Meaning | Action |
|
|
|------------|---------|--------|
|
|
| 53 | Network path not found | Re-authenticate to Zscaler |
|
|
| 86 | Invalid password | Reset password at mypassword.ge.com |
|
|
| 1219 | Multiple connections exist | Tool handles automatically |
|
|
| 1326 | Bad username/password | Verify credentials |
|
|
| 1330 | Password expired | Reset password |
|
|
| 1909 | Account locked | Contact helpdesk |
|
|
|
|
## Three-Phase Connection Approach
|
|
|
|
To prevent Error 1219 when multiple drives point to the same server:
|
|
|
|
1. **Phase 1: Collect** - Gather all drives to be mapped
|
|
2. **Phase 2: Disconnect** - Remove ALL existing connections and clear IPC$
|
|
3. **Phase 3: Reconnect** - Map all drives with fresh credentials
|
|
|
|
This ensures Windows doesn't have conflicting credential sessions.
|
|
|
|
## Server Migration
|
|
|
|
When restoring drives, the tool automatically migrates server names:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
\\tsgwp00525.rd.ds.ge.com\share → \\tsgwp00525.wjs.geaerospace.net\share
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### "Test credentials failed"
|
|
1. Verify you're connected to the corporate network (VPN/Zscaler)
|
|
2. Check if your password has expired
|
|
3. Try option 7 to reset your password
|
|
|
|
### "Error 1219: Multiple connections"
|
|
The tool handles this automatically. If it persists:
|
|
1. Run option 4 (Full Reset)
|
|
2. Log off and back on to Windows
|
|
3. Try again
|
|
|
|
### Drives don't appear after restore
|
|
1. Check Windows Explorer - drives may be disconnected
|
|
2. Run option 4 (Full Reset) to force reconnection
|
|
3. Verify network connectivity to the server
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
1. Install [Inno Setup 6.x](https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php)
|
|
2. Open `NetworkDriveManager.iss`
|
|
3. Compile (F9)
|
|
4. Output: `Output/NetworkDriveManager.exe`
|
|
|
|
## Standalone PowerShell Script
|
|
|
|
For environments where Inno Setup isn't available, use:
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\NetworkDriveManager.ps1
|
|
```
