It's not pretty, but this works.

File.Execute("%SysDir%\Net.exe", "use N: \\computername\sharename",wait)

---------Cut and Paste--------------------
<IR_ACTIONS_LIST>
<Action name="Execute">
<Type>8</Type>
<Function>0</Function>
<DTIndentLevel>0</DTIndentLevel>
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
<ErrorHandling>
<UserNotificationMode>2</UserNotificationMode>
<CustomErrorMessage/>
<OnErrorAction>0</OnErrorAction>
<JumpToLabel/>
</ErrorHandling>
<FileName>%SysDir%\net.exe</FileName>
<CommandLine>use N: \\ComputerName\ShareName</CommandLine>
<WorkingDir/>
<RunMode>0</RunMode>
<WaitForReturn>1</WaitForReturn>
</Action>
</IR_ACTIONS_LIST>
---------End Cut and Paste -------------------

Here's a prettier way to do it using the mpr.dll
The dll should always be in the system directory and has been included in the OS since win95

Make sure you change the parameters to your specifications

14409-Map Drive.zip

Is this dll still available? I'm looking to integrate it into a couple tools...

Many thanks in advance!

Yes, as Worm mentions above, it is distributed with every Microsoft operating system since Win95. It is located in your (and your user’s) systems folder. In AMS 4 it’s location would be:
%SysDir%\mpr.dll

The systems folder is typically located at:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\
