Title:
NET USE - mapping a drive?
Environment versions
Network:
Windows 2003 Server
I need first determine if a particular drive is already mapped and if it is not then need to connect to that windows share using NET USE. Not sure how this is done as I need to pass a userid and password in the connection. Would I use the RUN command?
It is NOT as simple as using a UNC name for the current loggged in user since that user does not have permission to the share. I have to map a drive as an alternate user then will have access to the files on that required drive. Unfortunately, the sys admin will not let me do it the easy way so I am forced to do these tricks.
Of course, I need to test the connection first since if I map the drive every time I will have too many connections to the same thing.
Any got some example code on how to handle this ?
