Indicates whether the drive needs to be connected immediately at sign-in. If the mapped drive credential is the same as that of the logged on user or the credentials have been saved the value will be 4. The type of connection – for drive redirection the value will be 1 and if it is print redirection the value will be 2. Registry settings for network drive mappings Value Name There is a subkey for each mapped drive with a number of registry values within each key. Network drive mappings are stored in the HKCU\Network registry hive. This is particularly useful in a scenario where users will enroll devices on the internet without any connectivity to the on-premises network or with a VPN connection that may not be available immediately after enrolment. Understanding this then opens up other mechanisms to configure the mapped drives without any dependency on network connectivity to the remote path. It is possible to configure network drive mappings by simply creating the required registry keys/values. This is so that the drive mappings can be rebuilt at each user sign-in.

When a network drive mapping is marked as persistent the configuration is stored in the registry.

Ensure mapped drives switch from “offline” to “online” when connectivity to the remote path is available.

Create mapped network drives without requiring network connectivity to the remote path.

Easily change/remove mappings without having to edit/re-deploy scripts.

Control assignment of drive mappings via Azure AD groups.

Configure the drive mappings directly in Intune.

The main requirements I had when I developed this solution were: Yes… network drive mappings without PowerShell😊. In this post, I am going to share another way of mapping drives on Intune-managed Windows 10 devices without using anything other than MDM policy. These solutions typically use a combination of PowerShell, Scheduled Tasks, etc. There isn’t any native support for doing this within Intune today although there are some great alternative solutions already documented by some MVPs and members of the MEM community. Apart from the ability to configure preferences that the user can override/customize it also has some other useful features such as network drive mappings. One of the current challenges when moving from a group policy to MDM with Intune is the lack of support for group policy preferences (GPP).
