Herb,

I tried that net use command, and it worked, said "The command completed
successfully." and then allowed me to browse the drive via unc in windows.
However, if I try to browse to the drive first, and then do that net use I
get the following:

C:\>net use \\userpc\c$ /user:domain\administrator
The password is invalid for \\userpc\c$.

Type the password for \\userpc\c$:
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

I have tried it both ways around on 5 PCs, if I do net use first I can
browse the PC. If I do it the other way around, it errors.
