  with .net classes it can be done with the following.
  in your case you need to use automations instead.
  
  NetworkCredential := NetworkCredential.NetworkCredential(username, password, domain); //2. domain
  CredentialCache := CredentialCache.CredentialCache;
  Uri := Uri.Uri('\\server');
  CredentialCache.Add(Uri, 'Basic', NetworkCredential);
  Dirs := SysDir.GetDirectories('\\server\directory');
  FOR i:=1 TO Dirs.GetLength(0) DO
  DirListTxt := DirListTxt + FORMAT(Dirs.GetValue(i-1))+'\'; //.net index starts with 0
  MESSAGE(DirListTxt); // print out the dir list
  
  variables
  NetworkCredential DotNet System.Net.NetworkCredential.'System
  CredentialCache DotNet System.Net.CredentialCache.'System
  Uri DotNet System.Uri.'System
  Dirs DotNet System.Array.'mscorlib
  SysDir DotNet System.IO.Directory.'mscorlib
  DirListTxt Text
  i Integer

  @archer89 unfortunately that does not work with NAV 5.0. There's no automation available that can be used.
  
  @lubost your answer worked but it's like a big workaround
