Windows 7 net use mapping error
Good Day to all,
I am new to Windows 7 and we are deploying our first Windows 7 box. The problem is a dos script that our accounting dept uses to connect to a server share will not work in Windows 7. Now the issue is two part. 1. It works in XP on multiple pc's. 2. It is a very simple script using net use. Here is the script:
NET USE H: /DELETE
NET USE H: \\IP_ADRESS\QDLS\sharename
When I run it I get a System Error 5 Access is denied.
I have tried running this using the Run as administrator command with the same results.
I even tried logging in as the domain admin and using run as administrator.
Additional notes. If I open my computer and use the Map Network Drive option I can map to the share. If I right click on it and choose disconnect and then run the script using run as administrator it works. I know it is probably something easy. But I really need to get this to work I don't know what is so different in the way that Windows 7 is running this script but any help would be greatly appreciated

if you go to the command line and manually enter that in does it work?
also try using the quotes as in this syntax:
NET USE [driveletter:] "\\ComputerName\ShareName"
also are you including the domain int he username?
below is the proper syntax
NET USE [driveletter:] \\ComputerName\ShareName[\

No it does not. Also Tried launching the command prompt by right clicking on it and choosing run as administrator. Still didn't work.

The server is at a remote location outside our network, that why I use the IP address, so I cant really do the domain name thing.
As far as the quotation marks that did not work either. The sharname\directory structure doesn't have any spaces in the name.

This did the trick. Just for anyone who needs it this was the final script with certain pieces of information changed to protect the innocent.
NET USE H: \\192.168.0.9\Folder\Share
