The mapped drive script is a script that will map a drive based on the computers IP address. The scenario is that you work for a company that has different departments on different floors of the building. Each floor has an assigned subnet. You will need to discover the IP address of the computer and map a drive to the departments shared folder.

Here are the departments, floor subnets, and mapped drive letter to be assigned:

Marketing: first floor Subnet: 10.5.40.X Drive M

Accounting: second floor Subnet: 10.5.41.X Drive N

Purchasing: third floor Subnet: 10.5.42.X Drive P

Executives: fourth floor Subnet: 10.5.43.X Drive R

Create a script named drivemap.ps1

Create folders on your C drive root and name them after the departments

Have the script discover the IP address and convert to array of octet values

Check the first two octets for a match to make sure the IP address is correct for this building

In your script, have it map the associated drive letter to the corresponding folder on your C drive based on the discovered IP address third octet
