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 information must be entered
manually.
The return codes for all parameters are:
• 0 = success
• > 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:
