Persisting Mapped Drives

[ddewan]

I am trying to find out a way to persist the mapped drive connections .

I have the following script: -
NET USE \\Server\Share password /USERomain Name\Username.

Can I put this script in the autoexec.bat file so that every time the server is rebooted, the share would automatically be mapped and we would not require to supply the username / password for the share.

In your opinion, is there a better way to handle this or any other recommended solution.

What type of OS are you running this on? Is it a client connecting to a server? Is the user logging into a domain? Is this the server? We need a little more info.

I'm trying to access a Windows 2000 Advanced Server from another Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Both users are domain administrators.

I would think in explorer you go to tools map network drive and then put in the information and check reconnect at logon

No it would ask for the password every time u reconnect.

Can't you use the '/persistent:yes' switch in the 'net use' statement? That's what I do.

Hey ShackDaddy

NET USE \\Server\Sharename password /USERomain\UsrName /persistent:yes

This gives me an error. Does this work for you, are u able to reconnect on restart without supplying the password ?

Yes. My own script looks like:

net use i: \\server1\share /PERSISTENT:YES /USER:domain\user password

Are the two servers in the same domain?
