Map a drive using local machine user account/password

[Guest Tim Kelley]

Is it possible to map a shared drive and use a local machine's user account

for authentication? I am trying to use the net use command (net use x:

password /USER:\\remotecomputer\sharename). When I run the command I get an

error stating the user context supplied is invalid.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

You probably have a conflict with an existing share connection

that was authenticated with the same user name. Disconnect

them with "net use * /y" before creating the new connection!
