Hi there, i am trying to use the net use command to map to a domain with a username and password in the syntax. The problem is that there is NO password so i have just left a blank space where the password would normally go. It maps ok but keeps asking for the password which i dont want students to have to see. can u help. The syntax i have so far is:
net use k: \\server1\share /user:\\server1\student

Try using "" instead of a space. So your syntax would be:
net use k: \\server1\share "" /user:\\server1\student
Hope that helps.

The command syntax to map a drive with a different user's creditials is: net use driveletter: \\servername\sharename /user:domainname\username You will then be asked for a password; just press enter.
You can come across this info by typing net use /?

I think that help menu is about as clear as mud. The syntax which I was able to use successfully is as follows. (spaces are important and the blank password is accessed by using "" )
net use z: \\computer1\myshare /user:workgroup\sally ""
