I'm using this Powershell script to connect a network path:
$usrLogin = [Environment]::UserName + "@mydomain.net"
$cred = Get-Credential $usrLogin
$networkCred = $cred.GetNetworkCredential()
$usercred = $networkCred.UserName + '@' + $networkCred.Domain
$extractSource = "\\srv01\d$\"
net use $extractSource $networkCred.Password /USER:$usercred
I decide to use "net use", because I'll open later in the Script a FileDialog which opens directly the Network Path.
$openFileDialog1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
$openFileDialog1.initialDirectory = "\\srv01\d$\"
Now my question:
How can I hide the output from the "net use" command? I tried this but it didn't work:
net use $extractSource $networkCred.Password /USER:$usercred | out-null
You can redirect the error stream to null:
net use $extractSource $networkCred.Password /USER:$usercred 2>null
Or use 2>&1 to redirect the error stream to the standard output stream and both to null:
net use $extractSource $networkCred.Password /USER:$usercred 2>&1>null
