-UserName <String>
[-UserPassword <SecureString>]
[-Condition <IResultObject[]>]

Description
This cmdlet creates a new Connect To Network Folder step object. Then use the Add-CMTaskSequenceStep cmdlet to add the step to a task sequence. For more information on this step, see About task sequence steps: Connect To Network Folder.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1
This example first uses the ConvertTo-SecureString built-in cmdlet to create a secure string for the user password. This method is used here as a simple example, but not the most secure since the plain text password is in the script. For more information on this cmdlet and other options, see ConvertTo-SecureString.
The next line creates an object for the Connect To Network Folder step, which connects the Z: drive to a network share as the _osdnetfolder service account.
It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.
$Secure_String_Pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "P@ssW0rD!" -AsPlainText -Force
$step = New-CMTSStepConnectNetworkFolder -Name "Connect To Network Folder" -Drive "Z:" -Path "\\server\share$" -UserName "contoso\_osdnetfolder" -UserPassword $Secure_String_Pwd
$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment"
$tsOsd = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsNameOsd -Fast
$tsOsd | Add-CMTaskSequenceStep -Step $step -InsertStepStartIndex 11
