Hi, I have to reset up my office network and I don't want to use windows drive mapping as I will be adding some linux boxes in the feature. Her is what I have done so far. I have assigned all my machines their own internal IP's on the router. I started with hour lazor printer and hour inkjet printers on 02 and 03 respectively. Now what I want to do is to use net use to connect the different drives but I need some good exmples on how to do this as I don't remember how. I also no that I can put the commands in a batch file to run at startup to not have to reconnect them all the time but need examples for that as well. If anyon has any better suggestions I am all ears.
Hi, Sorry I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do? You say you don't want to use drive mappings but the net use command is used for that purpose.

Hi, Basically when I let the windows map the drive itself threw map network drive under my computer it seams to always drop even though it is told to remember the drives. I was thinking of using an AD setup with a share sense I have an extra box and an extra copy of windows server but not sure what would be my best option here. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Hodgson Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2015 1:43 PM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] net use Hi, Sorry I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do?

Hi, If you can live without mapped drives then go for it. Just use \\server\sharename instead, it is much more reliable. You don't need AD unless you want to play with it, or have a need for several shared accounts over multiple systems and want to manage them in one place, or need to run an AD aware application.
