NEW-PSDRIVE - Active Directory Persistence

Question

_{Wednesday, March 9, 2016 12:09 PM}

Hi 

I'm trying to set up new PSDrives on my local machine so that I can administer remote domains without having to log on to the various serves in those domains.

I have used the following command to create the drive, it works and I have no issues.

*New-PSDrive -Name remotedomain -PSProvider ActiveDirectory -Server "192.168.0.1" -Credential (Get-Credential "domain\administrator") -Root "//RootDSE/" -Scope Global *

The issue I have is that when I shut down by powershell session those newley created PSdrive are gone.  I've tried using the           -persist option but that gives me the following message:

New-PSDrive : When you use the Persist parameter, the root must be a file system location on a remote computer.

How would I get them to stay put when I close my powershell session.

You can modify your PS profile, so that way every time you start a session it will automatically run and map the drive for you.

Hi,

Since the -Persist switch isn't available, you could put the commands into your profile. This will automatically recreate them each time you open the console (be aware that this means every time).
