    Resolved [RESOLVED] Mapping drive in command prompt

    How would I map a network drive using command prompt? I know how to do it with the GUI interface, but would like to know how to with command prompt. Thanks for any help.

    net use [DriveLetter] \\Computername\ShareName
    DriveLetter = D: E: F: Whatever you have available. Please omit the brackets when defining the driveletter

    Of course, in a NetWare environment its:

    map [DriveLetter]:=[server]/[volume]:[path]

    Some parameters:

    map next
    will automatically take the next available network drive letter.

    map root
    will map the entire path so that it looks like the path specified is the root of the drive.

    You can also map search drives, which act like a path statement. The order the drives are searched are from S1: to S16:. Instead of mapping a drive letter, you'd enter:

    map s16:=

    Or you can insert into the middle of the search path with:

    map ins s5:=
