Why don't you just create another local user on the Server with the same
credentials as the local user on the XP machine so that NET USE is
irrelevant between the two machines? Without running a domain controller to
synchronize user accounts between two machines, this method is the next-best
thing.
In other words, if you publicize the use of another user's credentials, via
NET USE, to access a share on the Server but does not control the use of
this script, it is the same as allowing "Everyone" access.
To access remote resources, you do not need to assign a network drive letter
at all.
NET USE \\server\share password /user:admin /persistent:yes
Then, you can access files via \\server\share\blahblahblah.
Mapping a drive letter only allows you to access files via Z:\blahblahblah

Is there a way to write a script to run after login that will connect to a computer using the computer name (i.e. \\server ) instead of having to assign a network drive to a share on the computer? I have a script that maps a drive letter to a network share, but it fails on login because it can't find the network path. net use z: \\server\share password /user:admin /persistent:yes After I am logged in I can manually login to that computer like this start > run > \\server authentication window pops up I enter the username and password, and then I am connected. I can do this but the office girl can't remember to do this, so I want to automate it with a script that runs on start up both computers are stand alone (no domain controller). The server runs win2k, the client runs xp pro. thanks for your help -steve waha
