I have a production server with volume a and b. DR server has volume a, not b. I was hoping to be able to map a network drive to a as b.
Possible?
I need to add a filegroup and file to production but the dr server (LOG SHIPPING) will not have the volume available when the command passes through log shipping.

the command for mapping a drive is fairly straightforward: NET USE G: \\UNCPath\d$\ShareFolder /user:domain\username password
after that is done, i think you might also need to add the trace flag 1807 to allow the SQL instance to use network paths?

I had been using "NET USE j: \\SAMESERVER\C$\SQL\SQL_Data\J /persistent:yes", even to the point of running through a scheduled task in a batch script, as the service account. The service account is not logged onto the machine at any time.
I was hoping the trace flag would work, but appears to not. Good information to note. Maybe playing with the trace flag at levels above session may give me a better start.
I had been running USE [master] GO
DBCC TraceON (1807) GO
ALTER DATABASE [DATABASE] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'TESTING', FILENAME = N'J:\TESTING_Archive.ndf' , SIZE = 3072000KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%) TO FILEGROUP [TestAnother] GO
I had been getting the error of Msg 5133, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Directory lookup for the file "J:\LIFT_Data_Archive.ndf" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). Msg 5009, Level 16, State 8, Line 2 One or more files listed in the statement could not be found or could not be initialized.

matt this worked 100% for me as an example; the difference here is I used the username parameters for the net use as a user that has permissions on the network;
from there, i got an error on adding the filegroup, until i set the trace flag:
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'NET USE J: \\DEV223\c$\DataFiles /user:disney\lizaguirre NotTheRealPassword /persistent:yes'
ALTER DATABASE [SandBox] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'TESTING', FILENAME = N'J:\TESTING_Archive.ndf' , SIZE = 3072KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%) /* Msg 5110, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 The file "J:\TESTING_Archive.ndf" is on a network path that is not supported for database files. Msg 5009, Level 16, State 8, Line 1 One or more files listed in the statement could not be found or could not be initialized. */
DBCC TraceON (1807)
ALTER DATABASE [SandBox] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'TESTING', FILENAME = N'J:\TESTING_Archive.ndf' , SIZE = 3072KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%) /* Command(s) completed successfully. */

AWESOME! Thanks!
I had not been using xp_cmdshell to execute the net use command. I knew I was getting hung up in permissions but just didn't know where. Well, now I guess I will just really hope that a log shipping restore session won't break and all goes smoothly (save the time of re-doing log shipping). Have been testing on testing server and it's looking clean.
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1 GO RECONFIGURE GO
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'NET USE.......
