Help with net use and remembering password.

So on my university's network to run a program two drives must be mapped. I am able to map them myself no problem on my account but it tends to be difficult to explain to other users over the phone how they can map the drives themselves.

I am working on creating a batch file that the user would only have to run once making it so I don't have to put it as a logon script in the active directory.

The problem that I am running into is that if I run the script once it will map the drives and all will work fine but if they log out or restart the computer the drives will still be there but they will need to re-enter the password to have access to the drive.

I want to prevent this from happening so after the first time the script is done they will not have to deal with any part of the mapping.

The domain/username and password for mapping the drives is different than their login domain/username and password.

I have it set to remove the S and V drive because anything already mapped to those drives will cause conflict. Then I have it set to map the drive.

Drive: S
Location: \\spock\kronos1$
Domain: bldg_ops
User name: house1
Password: testword

Drive: V
Location: \\vulcan\kronos1$
Domain: bldg_ops
User name: house1
Password: testword

I have tried /persistent and /savecred but neither worked.

Any help is appreciated.Start Free Trial
