Please give the following a try:

  1. Use a ‘Invoke PowerShell’ activity.
  2. In the properties, set the following values:

CommandText: "New-PSDrive -Name Z -PSProvider FileSystem -Root \\server\share -Credential mydomain\myusername"
IsScript: True

  1. Use another ‘Invoke PowerShell’ activity & in the properties panel, set the following values:

CommandText: "Exit-PSSession"
IsScript: True

  1. Save and run the workflow. The network drive should be mapped with the specified credentials.

Hope this helps,
Best Regards.

@Arun_Singh

Looks like PowerShell command being invoked requires user interaction to provide credentials, but the process is running in a non-interactive mode, so it cannot provide the credentials.

Can you try modifying your PowerShell command to accept credentials in a non-interactive mode.

Best Regards.

  1. Assign UserName, Password, DriveLetter, and DrivePath to separate variables.
  2. Password must come within a single quote while assigning. eg - ‘Welsome$123’ since PowerShell will restrict the ‘$’ symbol.
  3. Invoke a power shell activity and include “net use “+ DriveLetter +”: “+ DrivePath +” /user:itape"+ UserName +” "+ Password in CommandText property.
  4. IsScript property must be checked.
  5. TypeArgument property must be a string.
