Trying to find a batch file that can…

Locked

(I posted again since I received an error the first time if a copy I appologise)

…do two things:
One- auto logon to my mapped network drive on server after bootup

Two- after logon to mapped drive auto start my main workstation program.

is this even possible with a batch file or do I have to try looking for something else?

Server is windows server 2003
workstations are all win xp pro

Thanks for any help that you can offer

try “net use”

1. put into your autoexec.bat this:
net use f: \\servername\sharefolder\ pwd /user:uname
where pwd is password and uname is username

2. call you program to run:
f:\abc.exe

is that what you want?

thank you..

I will give it a try and see how it works.

net use H: \\server_name\folder_name% >NUL:
