nt domain logon via mos dos script

[odin999]

Hope someone can help.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have thousands of win 95/98 machines which have tcp/ip addresses from out corportate DHCP servers.&nbsp;&nbsp;However they only belong to their local networks and do not logon on to the NT domain.<br><br>I will be running a SAP R/3 user exist which will call a dos batch file which will then down load small files from a NT server in out corporate domain.<br><br>I require help with writting the file in respect to connecting and validating these machines to the NT machine via MS Dos.&nbsp;&nbsp;I realise that I can use &quot;NET USE * \\bla bla bla but do not know how about to add my user name and password for that server to the command line string.&nbsp;&nbsp;I realise that NET LOGON cannot be called from within a MS DOS window.<br><br>Any urgent assistance is greatly appreciated.<br>

Here are a couple of NET USE command lines that may be helpful.<br><br>NET USE X: \\SERVER\SHARE %PASSWORD% /USER:%USERNAME%<br><br>OR<br><br>NET USE X: \\SERVER\SHARE %PASSWORD% /USER:%DOMAIN%\%USERNAME%<br><br><br><br>dxd<br>

thanks dxd for you help.&nbsp;&nbsp;but unfortunately the NET USER command is not valid in a win 95/98 environment. Any more suggestions.

My mistake, I thought you were wanting to attach in Dos mode using a boot disk.<br><br>I think the simplest solution would be to have one machine outside of the domain security model replicate the data from the domain server or shares you are needing access to.<br><br>The machine need not be a member of the domain, however the user account and password must match one of those with access to the domain share.<br><br>Then the other machines outside of the domain can simply use the net use command and attach to this computer to download the files needed.<br><br>There is no method I am aware of that will allow you to authenticate to a domain using real-mode tools while running Windows 9x 32bit client and drivers. If it were only a few computers then you could use a Dos boot disk to attach and download the files, however since you have thousands of users it seems to make more since to push this data to a workstation/file server outside of the domain so that it can be easily accessed by the clients that require it.<br><br>dxd<br>
