After running out of storage space on our server we've install an Iomega NAS. We want to copy existing data to the NAS and re-establish shares to the directories. Unfortunately this has to be done (rather painstakingly) using a web based configuration tool from the NAS itself. Is there a way to perform a bulk share from a command line prompt or batch file?
Cheers in advance

hmmmm, I'm wondering if you can setup a domain based dfs root, setup the NAS box as a replica partner (all data/directory structures/shares would be replicated to the NAS automatically) then you could break the replica, delete the first one and be left with the new one.
I'm only in the 'gathering data' stage of this problem but I think this is an idea worth looking into.

Do you mean map a share from the client to the server?
if so just make a *.bat file that will run on startup. It should contain something like this:
net use s: \\server\share
<s:> being the share you want on the client system
