net use command to W2K share

[nwoliver]

I am attempting to use a "net use" command to make a share available to my production people. I would prefer to insert it into the network login script, but will settle for the user login script if necessary. I want it to map a drive letter. The script is as follows:

net use q: \\reprodesk\reprodesk_cfg /userceuser /persistent:yes

There is no password for this share, however it prompts for a password, making it necessary to press the enter key to tell it so. Now I KNOW, that as sure as God made little green apples, that I will have a user or users who will cry about having to press the enter key one extra time when he/she/it logs in. Is there a better way to accomplish this, or, is there a way to enter a <enter> into the script string so that the activity will be transparent to the user?

one obvious solution is supply a password.

I'm too stubborn to do the obvious thing.

Actually I did have a password on it, but that caused some type of problem that I thought would be solved by just not messing with one. I will go back and use a password and see, now that I have a working script, if it will work.

If you had a password, your line would look like this:

net use q: \\reprodesk\reprodesk_cfg /userceuser passwordhere /persistent:yes

There is a way to replicate the pressing of the Enter key which involves a text file that contains nothing but a carriage return and clever use of the < symbol ....

if this is in the script then you are better to make persistent:no

if you have zen then it's better to do this as a pre and post on the application icon
