Re: Mapping a drive automatically

Thanks for your response.

The login script is just a batch file sitting on the server I have scheduled
to process at server startup.

I need these drives mapped all the time (for file transfers back and forth)
regardless of if the server is logged in or not. I was trying to avoid if
the servers gets rebooted and no one logs into, these drives not being
availabe for the file transfers.

Thanks in advance for help.

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?

Mapped drives are specific to the session under which they are mapped. If
you map a drive in the logon script then it won't be visible to a scheduled
task. Perhaps you tell us what you're really trying to do with your mapped
drive, and when. Someone will then suggest a suitable solution.
