Windows 7: Mapping a network drive using "net use" command?

pulgoki · 24 May 2012

I need a little assistance.

I am trying to create some batch files to connect to network drives. I am not understanding something.

Code:

net use x: \\myserver\c$\documents /USER:mydomain\login_name

the /USER:mydomain, what do you enter in the mydomain location of you are not part of a domain?

Here is what I get for this.
domainname = Specify a different domain than the one you're on, assuming you're on one, with this option. Skip domainname if you're not on a domain or you want net use to use the one you're on already.

From here.

Ive read that.. it still left me a bit confused.

Sorry, im a bit of a newb.

I also read another site that made it seem that you could replace the domain name with the computer name. I am not 100% sure of that however. I also do not understand the proper syntax of everything so,

Would the command look like this?

Code:

net use x: \\myserver\c$\documents /USER:computer_name\login_name

or if your are not using a computer name or domain name, like this

Code:

net use x: \\myserver\c$\documents /USER login_name

This would be with password included. (using the example from the link) and stay connected ??

Code:

net use e: \\myserver\c$\documents  password /user login_name /savecred /p:yes

Sorry for the ignorant questions...
