Bacth File for Drive mapping

[Guest twayd]

Hey All-

 

I have a machine that's off domain, that is used by multiple users, but they

need to use the shared file systems (domain member) to give presentations,

etc.

 

I'm looking for a mechanism (batch file/script) that a user can initiate

that would map a drive to a predetermined path, but prompt them for their

domain credentials.

 

Can anyone assist me???

 

TIA

Try this:

 

@echo off

echo.

set /p name=Please enter your domain user name:

if "%name%"=="" goto :eof

set /p password=. . . and your password:

if "%password%"=="" goto :eof

net use S: \\YourServer\SomeShare /user:%name% %password%

net use T: \\YourServer\OtherShare

 

There is a drawback with this method: The password is visible

on the screen. To get around it you would have to use a script

rather than a batch file.
