VPN + Map Network Drive Batch File

[royalmail]

OK, so this isn't strictly a VPN question, but what I am trying to achieve involves VPN, and if I can get an answer I am sure this would be of use to other people running remote users via VPN.

After a remote user has connected to our LAN via VPN Client I want them to run a batch file that maps all of the usual network drives for them. This runs OK up until it realises that the user hasn't authenticated on the domain. It then asks for a password in order to access the shared folder on the server.

Anyone know the format / syntax to enter usernames and passwords at the DOS prompt when a 'net use' batch file is running?

net use \\servershared password /user:username.

Thanks. I guess I jumped the gun a bit as I posted the topic before doing much investigation... Bringing up the help information for net use gave me the answer to the question.

Thanks anyway.
