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
map
network
drive
interface
supports
the
following
parameters:
Syntax:
mapdrv
[switches]
Entering
the
command
with
no
parameters
launches
the
application
and
the

must
be
entered
manually.
The
return
codes
for
all
parameters
are:
v
0
=

v
>

When
MapDrv
is
launched
with
no
parameters,
the
user
is
prompted
for
the
network
share,

name,
and
password.
It
then
