Mapping a drive automatically

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have a need to map a drive between two servers, one is in a domain the
other is not. I also would like the drives to map if the server gets
rebooted but no one logs into it.

Here’s what I’ve done so far.

I’ve created a .bat file with the appropriate net use commands. I’ve
scheduled a task to execute that batch file on system startup. Once I reboot
the server the drives never map. I check the Scheduler log and it shows an
exit status of 2.

The batch file will process and map the drives if I use other options
through Scheduler.

Is there a way to have the drives map without actually logging in to the
server?
