Mapping Drives

Everytime i restart my machine it asks me for the password for the drive i mapped in windows 2000 Advanced Server. Is there anyway to fix it so that it will connect without asking me for the password again? thank you for your time.

I am trying to find out a way to persist the mapped drive connections in Win 2000.

I have the following script: -
NET USE \\Server\Share password /USER:Domain Name\Username.

Can I put this script in the autoexec.bat file so that every time the server is rebooted, the share would automatically be mapped and we would not require to supply the username / password for the share.

In your opinion, is there a better way to handle this or any other recommended solution.

is the username and password the same one that logs you onto the machine that connects to the drive? also, are you logging into a domain or workgroup?

Try adding the following to your net use command: "/persistent:yes" (no quotes) it would then look like:

NET USE \\Server\Share password /USER:Domain Name\Username /persistent:yes

-MW
