I doesn´t show any error message at all. The homedrive H: wont get mapped to their homedrives. The strange thing is that the following command works....

net use lpt2: \\printer\laser-5000

BUT

The following commands doesn´t work:

net use h: /home
net use k: \\mainserver\apps
net use l: \\file\data

No error message or anything....they just wont get mapped.
