Hi Guys,

    Hi Muthu,

    just to add to Manan's reply:
    You could execute AppleScript code with ExtendScript.

    Sampel code with method doScript() :

    var s =
    '''
    tell application "Finder"
    mount volume "smb://server/Automation"
    mount volume "smb://server/Library"
    end tell
    ''';
    
    app.doScript( s , ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE );

    I don't think JS has such native capabilities. In my opinion you might have to keep using this applescript and write a similiar VBScript for WIN, if making this work on both platforms is the end game you desire.
