Synopsis

net use [device:] [\\host\share] [password | *] [options]

Map a network resource to a local device, which can be a drive letter or a printer of the form LPTn.

The host and share name argument is used only when defining new mappings. It may have a NetWare volume name appended, if appropriate.

Any required password may be specified on the command line, or an asterisk may be substituted to request a password prompt.

Options

/PERSISTENT:YES | NO

Create a persistent mapping (automatically re-created at each login). The default is the setting used most recently. If this option is specified without any other arguments, it changes the current default.

/USER:[domain\]username

Specify an alternate user account for accessing the resource.

/HOME

Map the specified drive letter to your home directory (no resource specification is needed).

/DELETE

Permanently remove the specified device mapping.
