Hi everyone. I would like to ask your technical expertise regarding my question. Here’s the scenario:
Our Win2003 server (server A) has a scheduled backup (using Windows Scheduled Task) every night which is saved on a hard disk of different server (Server B). Server A also is configured to shutdown every night after the backup has ran. I need to map a shared folder in Server B automatically (without logging in to the machine) after booting so that the backup will run later that day. How can I do this? Please note that Server A’s domain is different from Server B.
I have already done a script, as below, and saved it under the Startup folder of Server A. It is actually running problem is I need to login to the machine before it can work. I also tried putting this script on the GPO of Server A (Computer Config – Windows Settings – Startup Script), and checked that its running using gpresult. But when I check the network drives, the shared folder is not there. Is there a special permission I need to provide for the credential that I used in my batch file? What would be the correct way to do this? Please help.. Thanks!
Here’s the script:
if exist Y: net use Y: /delete
net use y: \\10.1.70.28\DELLRoot_backup password /user:INOKSG\thery /persistent:no
