Can I Map a network drive on a remote PC from my PC???. I have tried this using the command scheduler and AT command, but I keep running into permissioning problems. The batch file seems to run on the remote PC at the approprite time but then it stops and looks for a password???.When I enter the password it doent work.I specified the domain Admin account to use when running the scheduler. Anybody got any solutions??.

Why are you using scheduler or at to map a drive?? Just do it from Explorer!!!!

If this mapping a s temporary one, part of a script, then you have to do it ast a NET USE command with a drive mapping and full drive path, user id and password in the command line

Sorry, maybe I didnt make the question clear enough. I DONT want to map a drive from my PC to another PC. I want to map a drive (remotely) for a network user on their PC,(Basically I deal with a few users who dont know how to map drives on their PC)this drive will connect from their PC to a server.I dont want to use a logon script.

Hi I think this will do it.
1) share the drive which u want to map.
2) goto the pc where u want to map and from the network neighborhood select that particular drive.
3) right click on it and select the map option.

hi.
on the remote pc, create a batch file and use this command
net use devicename \\computername\sharename\volname [password |*] [user:[domainname\]username]
and update the scheduler/at with batch file and select the option to run on logon to system.

This would solve my problem but my company would not let me use this product!
