    @Rohit Boddu
    You can see that the endpoint was mounted in your output there. If you navigate to This PC in it should be visible under Network locations in File Explorer. Alternatively in the command line you can run "wmic logicaldisk list brief" you should also be able to run "cd Z:\".

    Hope this helps! Let us know if you have further questions or issues.

    File share mounts and credential caching in Windows are user-specific. If your powershell session is elevated, you may not be able to use the share in your non-elevated session.
