My goal is create Windows mapped network drive in Windows to a WebDAV server.  
Saved in Windows and they can be managed by using standard Windows tools, such as File Explorer

[Https://Dopper12-test.sourcecloud.com/peet](Https://Dopper12-test.sourcecloud.com/peet)

I try this  
New-PSDrive -Persist -Name “K” -PSProvider FileSystem -Root “\Dopper12-test.sourcecloud.com@SSL/peet” -Description “Cloud”

But i get the following error: New-PSDrive : The network resource type is not correct

Syntax of new New-PSDrive:  
`New-PSDrive [-Name] <String> [-PSProvider] <String> [-Root] <String> [-Confirm] [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Description <String>]`  
`[-Persist] [-Scope <String>] [-UseTransaction] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]`

Your code:  
`New-PSDrive -Persist -Name “K” -PSProvider FileSystem -Root “\Dopper12-test.sourcecloud.com@SSL/peet” -Description “Cloud”`

If you go through the help documentation, it clearly states that Name is a positional parameter with value 0, it should precede the -Persist parameter(and similarly you have to follow the Parameter-Set syntax rule to make the command run/work).
