    <p>Network drives, and really all drive letters for that matter, are "mapped" to volumes for a given logon session. When you are creating a scheduled task to run it creates a new login session (even if you are currently logged in) and runs the scheduled task in that context. Thus, while you may be logged in and have a Q drive mapped - the second session that is running the task has a completely different environment, Windows is just nice enough to automatically map the C: (and other physical drives) for all sessions.</p> <p>You shouldn't need to map a map a drive when using PowerShell, other than for perhaps convenience. Unlike the cmd.exe predecessor, PowerShell is perfectly happy to change the current directory to a UNC style path:</p> <pre><code>cd \\server\share\directory </code></pre> <p>Is it possible to accomplish what you need without mapping a drive at all? You have mentioned copying files - if the task is running with your credentials, and assuming you have permissions to the Q: drive (lets say \server\share), then your script should be able to do something like:</p> <pre><code>copy c:\logs\*.log \\server\share\logs </code></pre> <p>And work just fine without needing to map a drive.</p> <p>Here is the complete command info for my test that worked. If your environment is different please note how. The task is configured to run as my domain account, only when I am logged in, highest privileges and configured for Windows 7/Server 2008 R2.</p> <p>The action is to Start a program:</p> <pre><code>C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe </code></pre> <p>Arguments</p> <pre><code>-command copy c:\logs\*.log \\server\share\logs </code></pre>

    1. COSorry, but you could probably see my situation by mimicking my environment. Powershell run through task scheduler on Windows 7 with a remote share. What you are proposing doesn't work as a scheduled task using task scheduler, I've tried... :(

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
