Hello Mike,
I have a script that is a part of HKCU Runonce, which is used to map D drive to indexing. Below is the script.
Write-Host Load the dll
Add-Type -path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft.Search.Interop.dll"
Write-Host Create an instance of CSearchManagerClass
$sm = New-Object Microsoft.Search.Interop.CSearchManagerClass
Write-Host Next we connect to the SystemIndex catalog
$catalog = $sm.GetCatalog("SystemIndex")
Write-Host Get the interface to the scope rule manager
$crawlman = $catalog.GetCrawlScopeManager()
$crawlman.AddUserScopeRule("file:///D:\*",$true,$false,$null)
$crawlman.SaveAll()
Write-Host Script completed
