You can use /savecred to save credentials so you don't need to type them next time.

If we knew why you want to use it that way, it would be easier to answer.

And why would a different credentialset be necessary? Won't it be possible to execute it as startup script or scheduled task right away?

Hi,<br />
<br />
could you pls suggest me the best way for below scenario?<br />
<br />
Would like to map a share drive using &quot;net use&quot; in scripting. ...do some stuff (copy,write/delete) ...then delete the drive.<br />
<br />
Right now I have to pass the username/pwd as an argument. <br />
<br />
Is there way to manage without providing the password?<br />
or<br />
Is there a way to encrypt the pwd and supply that in the argument?<br />
or<br />
Can I provide the password as an input text file to &quot;net use&quot; ...again encrypted<br />
or <br />
what is the best practice<br />
<br />
thanks in advance

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Encryption

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
