Batch File to Connect to Mapped Drives

Post by jstevens »

I have a number of network mapped drives that do not connect automatically when I work remotely with a VPN connection.

What I would like to do is create a batch file that would connect each mapped drive. I can double-click each mapped drive to connect but am looking for a batch file solution.

Regards,
John

net use <x>: \\<servername>\<sharename> /p:<n>

Change all variables to suit, duplicate appropriately.
Check whether the BATch file has to be run as Administrator...

I do all this stuff in a Logon Script - YMMV!
