How to connect to Shared Drive/Folder using a net command from MSBuild script?

Today, I gonna share the useful command that how we can connect to the shared drive/folder using a net command from MSBuild script.

1. Install the MSBuildTasks package from NuGet package manager. My one is version 1.5.0.235.
   
2. Import the package to your project file.
   <Import Project="packages\MSBuildTasks.15.0.235\tools\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/>
   
3. Create the new Target to connect to the shared drive/folder.
   <Target Name="ShareFolder">
<Exec Command="net use <drive>\\<servername>\<sharefolder> /user:<username> <password> "
</Target>
   

That’s it. I hope this will help. 🙂
