net use command

[butterfm]

Hi,

I am running a net use command on win 2000 server to map a drive to a network share but when I do this it opens an explorer window. I have done the run the same command on other win200 servers but this doesn't happen.

Any ideas how to stop it happening. I have the net use command in a script but also need to run the

net use s: /D

command in the script to delete the mapping. This command fails because the explorer window is open.

I would be grateful if anybody could tell me how to switch this off.

Cheers, M

Could you post exactly the net use string that you are running?

To close the share run "net use * /DELETE /Y" it will force the close of the session. If you leave the wild card in there it will delete all mappings.

Thats sorted it out. The /Y switch was what I needed.

Many Thanks,
