You don't. If you're logged on with an account that exists on the server it will just work (assuming you have rights). If not you will be prompted.
The best way to maybe do this is to do a drive maaping on the remote server - the connection is more efficient that way and you can use API calls (mentinoed in the article I think) that allow you to do all programmatically.
