Net Use Command on Startup Script

I’m about to roll out a Win2000 server and am working with a startup script in my default domain policy. I’m attempting to use the net use command to map a series of drives for all machines on startup, but the script is failing because of a passwordproblem.

I’m trying to use net use n: \\172.16.100.11\c. I’ve also tried net use n: \\172.16.100.11\c password | test.

Is the net use command available on machine startup to map drives prior to a user logon, or am I just trying to do something impossible?

Thanks,
David
