    Hi Mattia Borino,

    I think the script you mentioned have two issues.
    1) Incorrect or missing backslashes in file paths ($ShortcutLocation and $Shortcut.IconLocation).
    2) Incorrect quotation characters – you’re using smart quotes (“ ”) which PowerShell will reject.

    Use the below mentioned corrected script for Network Folder Shortcut via Intune (No Drive Mapping)

    $ShortcutName = “YourShortcutName”
    $TargetPath = “\YourNetworkPathSharedFolder”
    $ShortcutLocation = “$env:APPDATAMicrosoftWindowsNetwork Shortcuts$ShortcutName.lnk”

    $WshShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
    $Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut($ShortcutLocation)
    $Shortcut.TargetPath = $TargetPath
    $Shortcut.IconLocation = “$env:SystemRootsystem32SHELL32.dll,3”
    $Shortcut.Save()
