"System error 53 has occured" during attempt to map network drive via command prompt
I am trying to create a simple logon script to map certain network dirves for each user group. For some reason I can not map to one share on a certain server using the command promt; however, I can map to it using the GUI wizard. I can map to qll other shares on the same server using the command promt. The server is a Win 2003 server, and the client is Win XP pro. Here is a copy of the script.
net time \\main-fs /set /yes
net use m: \\main-fs\all users
net use F: \\main-fs\Fiserv
net use L: \\exchange\easylndr
net use t: \\main-fs\tele5
net use g: \\main-fs\gl
\\main-fs\all users is the share that I am having trouble with.
net time \\main-fs /set /yes

net use L: \\exchange\easylndr
net use t: \\main-fs\tele5
net use g: \\main-fs\gl
\\main-fs\all users is the share that I am having trouble with.

The article didn't help, it is telling me to map it through the GUI. I know I can do that, but I want to run scripts to map the drives.
When I try mapping with \\IP_Address\share name I get the following:
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password

Oh, and remove the "net time \\main-fs /set /yes" part. To start with, users aren't allowed to change the system time anyway, and XP/W2k machines that are members of an AD domain will automatically synchronize their time with the DCs. There's nothing to do manually.
Adding quotation marks fixed my problem too, thanks alot.
here is a MS artical about it
