I need to know the command to check for if a drive is mapped. I have seen it before.
I am trying to map drives to my server via login scripts. But if they are already mapped I get an error. I need to be able to check to see if they are mapped and them map them if they are not and if they are leave them be.

If you know the specific drives just be sure they don't exist by deleting them first. In the beginning of your batch file somewhere use "net use (drive) /delete", for each of the drives mapped.

First, I have admin rights to one of our NT server. On this server, there are several hidden drives that I need to map so I can worked at home and watch the blondes on TV or Basketball. I went to the ms dos command prompt and type in this syntax: net use M: \\ip address of server\F$(hidden drive) and it comes back with this error, system error 53 has occurred.The network path is not found. I consult with my Network Admin and his knowledge is equivalent to our blonde secretary. NO offense ladies. It's just the truth. Is it possible that the tcp/ip connection times out? What must I do to establish a connection to my hidden drives on the network server. I used the same command at work in an intranet environment and it works like a charm. It's hopeless, so have mercy and bail me out please!!Gracias..
