Hey guys!
I think I posted this in the wrong section so I'll repost it here, I made a vbscript for windows machines to connect to a network drive using the user input username and password, I have multiple users that have different logons to access the shared drive and the personal network drive. Here it is .."
That uses the prompted variables to map the drive with the user and pass, and also makes use the user variable to map to a personal drive. This is what I want the macs to do through automator.
Automator is being such a pain and not allowing me use the prompted user variables and I wouldn't even know if it's possible on macs. Anyone have any ideas? I don't know too much applescript and I can't push it from profile manager because they are non networked, only connected through wifi.

Code:
strUser = InputBox("Enter your user name")
strPassword = InputBox("Enter your password")
strYear = InputBox("What year are you in? (Just the number)")
strDriveLetter1 = "K:"
strRemotePath1 = "\\15.141.176.58\year_"
strDriveLetter2 = "L:"
strRemotePath2 = "\\15.141.176.58\Admin"
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
On Error Resume Next
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter1, strRemotePath1 & strYear & "$\" & strUser, , strUser, strPassword
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter2, strRemotePath2, , strUser, strPassword
MsgBox strUser & "'s drives has been added"That uses the prompted variables to map the drive with the user and pass, and also makes use the user variable to map to a personal drive. This is what I want the macs to do through automator.
