Hey All-

I have a machine that's off domain, that is used by multiple users, but they
need to use the shared file systems (domain member) to give presentations,
etc.

I'm looking for a mechanism (batch file/script) that a user can initiate
that would map a drive to a predetermined path, but prompt them for their
domain credentials.

Can anyone assist me???

TIA

Try this:

@echo off
echo.
set /p name=Please enter your domain user name:
if "%name%"=="" goto :eof
set /p password=. . . and your password:
if "%password%"=="" goto :eof
net use S: \\YourServer\SomeShare /user:%name% %password%
net use T: \\YourServer\OtherShare

There is a drawback with this method: The password is visible
on the screen. To get around it you would have to use a script
rather than a batch file.
