Network Drives

[BigGreg85]

@echoff

netuse M: \\server\music
netuse S: \\server\C$

pause

i put that batchfile in the startup folder.


but whenever I logon....I am asked to type a user name and password to be able to connect to these drives. I had this working properly before, until I reinstalled windows. This can get a little annoying.


any help?

Thank You

Greg

Is this part of a domain?

Are the username an password you use to logon to your machine the same as the network drive logon?

 

[BigGreg85]

no it isnt part of a domain....just on a workgroup

What about just mapping the drives, and having them reconnect on logon?

Not the best solution, but it can work in the interim.

Well it sounds like the username and password on the workstation does not match the username and password on the server. Simple solution is to match the usernames and passwords for the 2 machines.
or map the drive and have it reconnect at logon like

If you cannot change the passwords on the machine you can add the username and password to your script...


net use M: \\server\music /user:johnv addpasswordhere

net use S: \\server\C$ /user:johnv addpasswordhere

maybe i did it wrong

the syntax would be
net use M: \\server\music /user:server\greg password

the syntax would be
net use M: \\server\music /user:server\greg password

so it would be like this then.....

M: \\server\music /user:"greg"\"password"

the user would be "greg" since that is my username for that machine

sorry im not home right now to try it out.

If your workstation has the same user account on the server for our example greg you would use
net use x: \\server\share /user:greg "password"

but if the account did not exist on the server and workstation or you wanted to connect to the server with different criedntials use

net use x: \\server\share /user:server\username "password"

where the "/user:server\username" command allows you to map a drive using any account located on the "server" such as the administrator account.

for more info on net use also from the command line you can type net use /? to get the options.
