script to map to network drive

Ok, im sure everyone has mapped to a network drive before.
I only know of 2 ways to do this.

1. Through "my computer", click map network drive.
2. through the start menu: click run, type--> \\"computer name"\c$

Can anyone tell me how to write a script to do the second one.
If not, how about the first .
Thanks

Hello and welcome to the board

Using KiXtart



USE G: '\\SERVER\SHARE'

 
That's all there is to it.

If you want to be group conditional about it then like this.

If InGroup('MyDomain\MyGroup')
 USE G: '\\SERVER\SHARE'
EndIf

Re: script to map to network drive

from a command prompt
net use * \\server\sahre

or, kix code

Code:

use * "\\server\share"


Might want to take a gander manual.

Re: script to map to network drive

One thing to keep in mind, however:
Code:

\\"computer name"\c$


Any of the c$, d$, admin$, etc. are all Administrative Shares and common users cannot map drives to them.

Re: script to map to network drive

You could try Shutdown() with the reboot option.

Re: script to map to network drive

Couple of things to try..

Install the ADMINPAK.MSI from one of your DCs and use "Terminal Services Manager" from Administrative Tools in your Control Panel to connect to any system and choose logoff. If logoff doesn't work, choose reset.

You can also use Hyena (Shareware) to do the same thing.

HTH,

AFAIK, Hyena is not shareware and must be licensed.

Can you say FREEWARE

PsShutdown is a command-line utility similar to the shutdown utility from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit, but with the ability to do much more. In addition to supporting the same options for shutting down or rebooting the local or a remote computer, PsShutdown can logoff the console user or lock the console (locking requires Windows 2000 or higher). PsShutdown requires no manual installation of client software.





PsShutdown

 
Installation
Just copy PsShutdown onto your executable path, and type psshutdown with command-line options defined below.

PsShutdown works on NT 4.0 and higher.

Usage
You can use PsShutdown to initiate a shutdown of the local or a remote computer, logoff a user, lock a system, or to abort an imminent shutdown.

usage: psshutdown [[\\computer[,computer[,..] | @file [-u user [-p psswd]]] -s|-r|-h|-d|-k|-a|-l|-o [-f] [-c] [-t nn|h:m] [-n s] [-e [u|p]:xx:yy] [-m "message"]

For the entire suite of PsTools check them out here
