Not quite. The first NET USE in this case is just logging on to/authenticating to the share. To get the next drive letter you have to specify a device name "*".

I'm tempted to say the command is incomplete in that it doesn't specify a drive letter, but the /Delete one later on doesn't specify one, either.
