I'm writing a small script to map and rename netword drives. I wanted to use variables (user input) in drive letter, but for some reason the script won't accept anything but static drive letters. Please help
$button_click_2 = { Remove-PSDrive -Name K -Force
New-PSDrive -Name $textBox -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\192.168.0.10\GRY" -Persist -Scope Global
$shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$letter = -join($textBox,":")
$shell.NameSpace("$letter").Self.Name = "Test Oliego 3"
}
$textBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$textBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10,40)
$textBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(240,20)
$form.Controls.Add($textBox)
$test_button = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$test_button.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(200,420)
$test_button.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size (170,23)
$test_button.Text = "Mapowanie Dysku Sieciowego"
$test_button.Add_Click($button_click_2)
$form.Controls.AddRange(@($test_button,$textBox))
Error messeges as below
New-PSDrive : Cannot process the drive name because the drive name contains one or more of the following characters that are not valid: ; ~ / \ . : At C:\Users\Axel\Desktop\TESTY\Szmery Bajery.ps1:9 char:21 + ...
