Question

often i have to create map drive where i specify machine and user credential. now i like to know can we write a batch file which will create map drive and where i provide all details like pc and folder location and user credentials etc. i got one as follows but i think this is not one which i require. please guide me. thanks

net use \\<network-location>\<some-share>\ password /USER:username

@echo Create new L: drive mapping
@net use L: \\network path /persistent:yes
@echo Create new K: drive mapping
@net use K: \\network path /persistent:yes
:exit

Is your batch file not working? What errors are you getting? — aphoria, Apr 25 '14 at 13:43

Have you tried what you have? Does it work? If not, what is the error? From a command prompt, type `NET USE /?` to get the syntax. — aphoria, Apr 25 '14 at 14:42

Answer of the Mou's query: If a map drive called Z exist in that pc then what will happen? can we write batch file like if a specific map drive exist then disconnect it and reconnect it again.

The solution of this problem is that You can simply map the share without assigning a drive letter. It is then mapped anonymously, only by its remote UNC path. This way you can also remove the mapping by specifiying only its remote name.

@echo off
net use \\192.168.7.15\testfolder password /user:domain\username /savecred /p:yes
REM Do your stuffs here.....
net use \\192.168.7.15\testfolder /delete

Answer of the Thomas's query: How to disconnect and connect map drive by batch file.

If you simply want to disconnect and re-connect a map drive, do like this:

@echo off
net use z: /delete
net use z: \\192.168.7.15\testfolder password /user:domain\username /savecred /p:yes

I presume your testfolder is shared then do like this:

net use z: \\192.168.7.15\testfolder password /user:domain\username /savecred /p:yes
