Pass a username/password when accessing a folder via VBScript

Question

I have a script that is meant to retrieve some files from a users old profile on a server and copy it to there new one, but the users do not have access rights for the folders/f

Answer 1

You have to map the share to a driveletter first, then

persistent = false
set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "driveletter:", "\\server\sharename", persistent, "username", "password"

Then use the normal filesystemobject to do the copying, using the driveletter or not. Once authenticated this way it's possible to do other operations with these credentials.
