Using various net use commands in a logon.bat file to automate mapping drive letters. Using Windows 2000 server SP2 and Windows 98SE clients. Most of the time, logons work absolutely fine, but occasionally (randomly) after a net use command is run, "sharing violation reading drive c, abort, retry, fail?" is displayed. Pressing R for retry works fine - the drive is mapped. There are up to 40 users on the network. Advice gratefully received. Thanks.

It sounds like you need to use a sleep command before the net use statement for maybe 5 seconds so some process can complete before the net use statement is run.

Thanks Norm

After removing our old NetWare servers (that we were replacing), the problem completely dissappeared. Thanks for the advice anyway.
