Hi all, yes i know there are multiple guides etc but none of them work.

I've tried:
The scheduled task creation and run when a user is loggin in => no succes
Powershell script to map them (https://intunedrivemapping.azurewebsites.net)
Simple stupid thing: New-PSDrive –Name T –PSProvider FileSystem –Root “\fileserver.Whygodwhy.com\TEST” –Persist
the custom URI one with the ADMX ingestion

But it seems when a thing is deployed to a user via Intune it can't do this.

Anybody got an idea?

    @Tom Meeus , Thanks for your update. From your description, I know we map the drive using domain account. As we will login Azure AD joined device using Azure AD account or system account. But these credential can't be used to map drive. So it is failed.

    Based on my research, maybe you can try to add the domain credential into the map drive command to make it works. here is a link I find for your reference:
    https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/new-psdrive?view=powershell-7.2#example-4-create-a-persistent-mapped-network-drive-using-credentials

    Hope it can help.
