We have a new image provided to us by another IT group and when we try to use Net Use as Power User we get Access is Denied. Running this as Admin works fine.

Not using any other commands other than "Net Use".
Using XP SP2.
Oh and this is NOT an LPT1 issue, because we are not trying to map a printer.

admin (run as from cmd)? Or add them to a start up script and run them with the machine account?

tried both of those. As I mentioned, running CMD as admin works fine.

The issue here is that we have images where you can run CMD and then Net Use as Power user and it works fine. But this new image, we can not and haven't been able to figure out what is blocking it on this loadset.

Oh and the reason we can't run at login is, we have a .bat file the users run when connecting to the VPN to map a drive for them. This needs to be run by the user and can't be run automatically by the program because they use multiple bat files.

does anyone else have any ideas?
to clarify
Domain user 'X' logged into domain-joined machine '1' can access share '\\server\share', via net use.
Domain user 'X' logged into domain-joined machine '2' can not access share '\\server\share', using the same net use command.
well, to be more accurate, user X on computer 2 gets "Access is Denied" when run through CMD
User X on computer 2 as power user can not run ANY Net Use command. (admin can run it just fine)

Check permissions on the net.exe command in the system32 folder.
If permissions were not set there, your best bet would be to call the ones that prepared the image and ask them WTF over?
