Map a drive as a different user in DEM

We have a local server account we would like to use to map a drive for users to a file share.   Application on the vm requires for drive to be mapped to a file share using the local server account.   Is there a way to map a drive in DEM using different credentials.

First I thought on "Drive Mapppings" with conditions but then I read twice .... maybe over logon task and a powershell for each specific user?

Hi @laerwin,

A very long time ago we had the option to optionally provide credentials for DEM drive mappings, but as there was no way to store those securely, we removed that feature.

I second @system32AUT's suggestion to just "manually" map a drive (using NET USE or a PowerShell script) from a DEM logon task.
